[QUOTE="JamesB, post: 755399, member: 44516"] Does the manual show how to use a feeler to make sure the crank is not jammed up against the left side case? The crank has to be out a few thousandths so as not to rub the case. When the case halves are put back together ideally the crank will be centered between the halves, ie. no rubbing on either case. I rebuilt (split cases) my buddies Kx125 and when i tightened the case halves together i had the same thing, crank was hard to turn. I hit the rotor side of the crank with a dead blow hammer (this is not the proper way to assemble bottom ends because the crank alignment could be knocked out of spec) and it "centered" the crank enough to allow the motor to spin freely. Good luck.......... [/QUOTE]
