alright, I just bought a 1993 shadow 2.2 5 speed. Its sat for 1 year without being started. I started it up, let it idle 20 mind then drove it. I made 6 miles and it started losing speed than picked back up. About a mile later it started a real light shimmy and started dropping speed again. I pushed in clutch and it stalled, but it was slow, not abrupt, and now but its seized.
It started to turn a little after 15 mins, but maybe an inch (talking about cranking). I read online that oil pumps lose prime after sitting. When I pulled the oil cap, it had a little mist flowing out.
My bro owned this car 2 years ago, and I k ow the guy I got it from, so I k ow where its been.

I just wanna know if I'm screwed.

Its seized. Let's hope I can just free the cylinders and just replace pump (or whatever the problem is).
I finally get a 2.2 car and broke it. That's what I get for rushing it home instead of googling common long sitting problems, like I did after it pooped.
