ban99 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 Just got this bike back together ( did not touch the motor) and took for a short test ride and heard a loud crunching sound ( def. not good). sound like it was coming from the kicker gear so i pulled it and it was fine. I put it all back together and noticed some rotational play in the fly wheel that sounds internal. Also the bike wants to back fire as if the timing is off when you kick it over. I'm sure I'm going to have to completely tear it down but thought I would see if anyone has a thought on where the problem lies. thanks. Quote

The backfire thing can come from a loose flywheel and its not spinning with the crank as it should. Check that out and get back to us and we can go from there... Quote
ban99 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Posted January 25, 2011 Ya, that's where the problem was, I sheared the key way on the fly wheel shaft into about 4 peices. Sounded way worse when it happened, thought i dumped the whole bottom end. Quote
