I got my motor all put back together( complete rebuild of crank, crank bearings, tranny bearings, top end, cylinder replate) and it runs great with the exception of the clutch. While it was apart I filed the notches smooth, about .02- .03" on each ear. Now it rattles something fierce. It has done this for a long time although not this noisy. When I pull in the clutch the noise goes away. I took it apart again and everything looks fine. The only thing I can think of is that the width between the ears is allowing the plates to knock back and forth. I did check the needle bearings and sleeve that the basket rests on but they look great; I can still see the grind and hone marks, although the basket has a small amount of angular forward backward play when it is all buttoned up. Could that small amount of filing make that big of difference? Is it possible that the motor is so quiet now, the crank and crank bearings were shot, that is seems bad?
Thanks
