Motor freezes up after sitting a few days.. I took plugs out sprayed oil in cylinders broke it loose runs fine. Let it sit a few days same thing happens anybody know whats wrong with it?

Pull the plugs and see what they look like, are they all the same, or is one rusty? chances are you have a water leak internally, and its rusting after use. Of course, that's only a first guess, it could be other things too, but we have to start somewhere with the limited info given.

pulled plugs looked in each cylinder with cam. No rust no scoring on walls everthing looks ok . Engine will spin about 3/4 of the way around then stop. Have to use wrench to free it up then it will spin..

If no water intrusion, might try running pre-mix to see if the problem continues..

If it does NOT continue, sounds like an oiling issue (or lack of)..
