Guys. Think my Max engine is failing.
Had a problem today where I couldn't start it, turned out a tooth had snapped off one of the EZ Start gears.
So as I'd stripped it off for that I had a check around.
I seem to have a fair bit of play between the conrod and the pin of the crankshaft. If I put the engine to TDC, my flywheel when turning it is "notchy". I can turn it slightly before the piston moves again.
I'm pretty sure I need a new conrod, but just wanted to ask on here. The pinch is still amazingly strong. I've run about 4.5ltrs through it so far.
If I do indeed have a problem, what would normally cause this?
