looking for a little guidance of where to look. Problem is with my 84 Phazer. it is bored, Aean pipe, cold air kit and could have some other mods that I don't know of. I have had it out this season for about 25 miles . Just before the snow melted, I started it to warm it up and put it in the shed. it was about 25-30 deg out. I started out ease across the field and I got about 300ft and it seized up. I was going maybe 10-15MPH. I thought, ok I cold seized it. I pulled on the cord and it turned over fine. So I put some oil in the cylinders and in the boost bottle hole and spun it over a few times, and it felt good, so I started it, turned around and headed back to the house, and in about 50-75 ft it did it again. Since it was still turning over just fine, I started it again and rode back to the house with the oil cable pulled out all the way. got back without it doing it and parked it in the shop.

So what do you guys think?

Try putting premix in tank then run it a little. My old one did that and it turned out that the cable end for the oil was messed up on the oil injection end.
 
Put a mark on the oil tank at the level of the oil and see if the level drops while you are running the premix.
