well if the cylinders are rusty, don’t try to run it. it could have been some type of mechanical break side the engine that caused it to lock up. no amount of oil is going to free that up!! i have tried using marvel mystery oil as penetrating oil without success. maybe try 2 stroke oil and atf? check the plugs. maybe one is smashed from something going wrong in the combustion chamber but i doubt that. it could also be hydrolocked.

+1 the only thing i can think of is if the engine is getting more fuel, it would be getting cooled a little more by the gasoline.

what octane does it say in the owners manual? does it matter on the supplier you get the gas from as to the pinging? there could be something wrong with the supply but i would think selling the incorrect octane would be illegal

so it does not ping on 98 correct? i would run that or maybe mix it with 95 until you find a ratio that it does not ping on. does it ping on mid grade without the ac? you could do that but it would be awefully hot! im not sure if you know this but the octane rating is the resistance of that grade gasoline to preignite (pinging) so the higher rating, the more resistance to pinging there is.
