Really bad vibrations

Hmm yea, maybe it could be the bearings, although I changed one of them last winter, I know I should have changed both but I only have one Yea, all of the nuts were tight and no loose nuts

I just re read your first post. It won’t rev up...
One thing you can try is to turn the engine over by hand. Turn the magneto rotor over, back and forwards, see if it feels ‘crunchy’ at all. Anything but smooth...P.S. has the posting format changed? I could only find the ‘button’ I normally use in the first post. I’ve never seen the @whoever reply thing before...

Hey.
The I tried to rotate, and it feels like normal. Nothing crunchy or anything. I also tried to swap the clutch basket out with another one I had laying around, which I knew worked when I took It off. I started it up and with no luck, same vibrationYea I also saw the @thing haven’t seen it before.

dude, if the engine is tight in the frame and you’ve already been clutch deep. You’re going to have to go deeper. It can only be something that’s spinning and out of whack. Which is clutch side (input) gear shaft, balance shaft and crank. There is nothing else. My concern is that if the bearing race has failed, where is the metal? It could only go out round the inner crank case...
Only other thing I can think of is the rotor woodruff key. Remove the rotor and check the keyway on the shaft. I’ve had these go bad and ruin the key slot/hole, no matter how much I tightened it it wobbled loose. I had to braze a woodruff key into the crank in the end... -
You can always pop the oil seals before you split the cases. Whatever, you’re gonna have to take off the top end to get a look at the crank. I think surgery is the only option
