holeshot said:This being a two stroke, the gear shaft bearings are in a separate compartment and cannot be contaminated from debris from the piston/cylinder. At least you will learn how a two stroke works from this experience. It's surprising how few people actually know.
I'm just wondering how the "no resistance when kicking" thing got by you when you bought it (an expansion chamber wouldn't do this).
You didn't mention crank seals in your order. If you are already in there replacing crankbearings, you should replace the crank seals as well (these seals are critical for optimum performance on a two stroke). The seals may be fine as they are, but you don't want to put everything back together and find that you should have replaced them.

The tranny is separate from the engine, till the seals/bearings fail, sometimes from a blown clutch! The little blind bearing on the left side main shaft, and the abused bearing behind the clutch, should be replaced when ever the clutch goes out! You would be surprised where all vibrations come from, and I sure hope it was a given to replace all the seals. Its so much cheaper getting the complete kits, leave no "iffy" areas, and your best chance at not doing this again, for a little while anyways. An entire 3 to 400 dollars in parts?
