MDT Edger Seized up??? B&S 3 hp

Is the oil at the top of the threads at the oil plug? Make sure you check the oil on flat ground.

Is this a new to you used edger?

Pour some Diesel, kerosene, acetone, naptha or any strong solvent into the spark plug hole. Transmission fluid is great too. See if it will break the piston free.

Do you have the blade in the down cutting position?

Post up pictures of your carburetor linkages. Remove the air filter housing. Would like to see the throttle cable, choke linkage, throttle and governor linkages please. I'm working on a 1993 3.5hp Briggs. There are several different types of linkage setups, air filters and so on. Trying to get replacement parts. Looks like yours is a 1991 era engine.
