Question for the motor Gurus
The other day I was running my motor with the ears on and my VRO stopped working, shut it off immedietly when I heard the alarm. I disconnected the resevior,mixed my gas 25/1 and cranked it back up at a idle but the damage was done and It seized with what seems like a slung rod. Flywheel still spins but is stopping at a certain spot. Is it worth taking to Porters or should I start shopping for for some new ponnies. At least I was on tera firma

In all likelyhood, it will cost more to fix than it's worth 
but as JT stated, you won't know for sure without someone checking it out
