non-klr/seized it

On this very topic.....
I just seized a chain saw motor. I removed the plug and filled the
jug with Marvel Mystery Oil. After a short time I could rock the
flywheel back and forth and freed up the piston.
Now... the thing will not start. It seems to have compression. I know
the plug is firing.
Any tips or suggestions on bringing it back to life? The parts for
the saw are not made anymore.
