Re: Break-in oil
The table spoon of oil down the carb throat is mainly for the crank bearings. When I build a motor I use my finger to coat the cylinder walls with the 2 stroke oil if you didn't apply any oil to cylinder walls that might be what caused it to lock up.
I would use the starter with no plugs and crank the motor like 10 seconds then wait 60 then crank again 10 seconds maybee 8 times and put 2 tablespoons of oil down carb throat to make darn sure the crank is lubricated. Starting it would be your call I certainly wouldn't rev it just idle it for about 15 seconds and listen for noise. Also the pre-mix is 40:1 for break in I went back and fixed my post.
Also I see where you are from VA I use to live in VA Beach and did a lot of jet sking there.
Good luck,
Joe
