Rebuilt my motor top to bottom. It has unbelievable compression now. Very hard to kick over. Still not able to start it cause of a grinding noise in the clutch area. I know I put it back together right but? It started to make this noise when I kicked it over the forth time. I know the secondary kick start gear is a little sloppy on its shaft and just has a little snap ring holding it. Anyone think it could have popped off and the gear is rubbing the clutch basket??
