Take out the plug, poke a length of wire carefully into the cylinder, and see if it moves when the motor is turned.

Thanks Captain Stubing for that ...sounds logical and possible given the way it stopped because there was a splutter and a noise..Will do what you said and let you know if the piston moves or not ..Cheers ..
