Default Motor will not turn with spark plugs in.... Headscratcher

Hi, looked thru everything because of my venomous parasitic draw. Found that problem, put the machine back together and now the plugs are restricting the motor from turning. Could someone help me. It’s been 70 to 80 degrees out and seems like one hundred thousand people have a bike in my neighborhood now. The agony.

Wasn’t there spacer washers that come with the plugs?

Yes, it will turn with the plugs out. I found 3 of the spacers for the plugs and it turns with the spacers on.

It turns slowly with all the plugs in, with or without washers on.

Have you got a good charge on the battery and a good spark at the plug?
