Center cylinder squeeked??

Post by Cliff »

Anyone ever heard the term "squeeked" before?? Got a lead on a bike for sale (GT550A) but the owner says he parked it when the center cylinder squeeked!! Waiting for him to get back to me to as to what happened! Any thoughts? I'm thinking seized!

Am no expert.

Soft seized? In discussions on the internet about soft seizing two stroke motors, others have used the term, "squeeked".

He probably means that it made a squeeking noise as it partially seized/nipped up.
