No I don't have any picks now because the motor was cleaned up,checked and put back together,. I did have to clean up the main cap flats and have it honed. I don't believe its balancing to be my problem although I am just speculating. However I do believe it is ignition related as I have in the past on gas motors run the ignition timing more than I should have. Since I changed to alcohol I have been on a learning curve and have really learned alot the hard way(breaking parts). I quess I need to set the timing back some. Almost all the caps have some sign of movement but the center cap shows the most. As far as bearings They still look good with some almost unnoticable scuffing on the capside bearing in the center where most of the load is placed.I opened up the bearing clearance to .0035 on the last freshen up and that seemed to be better. Any Ideas? Does it seem to be timing?By the way timing is 36 degree's with crank trigger.
