sc 46 engine sticking

I've had this sc 46 engine for a couple of years now. It is well run in but it always sticks when I am turning the prop by hand. Why is that?

My 2 cents worth

IS it an ABC type Engine? If so its sticks When you turn it over due to the fit of the piston in the cylinder most likely. I'm not an expert but that would be my best guess. Doesn't sound like the engine has been ran allot. As long as it runs fine and fly's the plane i wouldn't worry about it to much.
