It seized in the normal position so you still have a lean condition and if not then that premix is not right. I'd still clean and tune the carb. I don't run any two stroke 50:1. That's the ratio for cruise RPM, idle speed and occasional wide open runs. If you are screaming along for extended periods at WOT then run 40:1. The bone stock race motors from OMC of that era called for 25:1 but they ran a 5500 rpm motor to 7000. I'm not trusting your carb or your gas and since your motor came as close to blowing up as you can get then cover your bases. Id say at least dump a little 2 stroke oil in with the premix but we don't even know what is in that gas yet. And don't pass go until you run a wire thru the main jet. You will blow up 11 seized engines for every one that breaks free and runs again. You got lucky....I hope.</p></blockquote><p></p>
