Really difficult to say. It could be your internal bearings on the big end. Which is not very good news.

If you look at how a 2 stroke motor works it is crucial that you have right oil mix. No oil even for a very short time means a seizure of some sort. Fitting a new oil pump ok but did you bleed it?
I would pre mix fuel in tank and disconnect the pump. Then try to start but it does sound to me you have internal problems. Possible the piston is at fault but it is a case of replacing and see. Good Luck!!

so no oil mixing with petrol? Mix it in tank but not sure of ratio, check with garage. If running smooth unlikley to of seized.

it turns over smoothly and there is no damge to the piston how ever the oil pumo is not connected to the carb atm

try kick start. is it easy to kick over or is it tough?

Siezures can happen in bore- engine wont turn over or one of the bearing. engine will turn over but not very smooth when ou turn over. Only real way it to pull apart but you can generally tell. If you suspect it then it proabably is.
