Little help for my friend with a blaster, mine doesn't need a crank don't worry lol. but if his isn't up and running then I can't ride mine either!
So! Here's a video of the play. it has no vertical bearing play, just that slight side to side, which I don't remember if its normal or not, that's why im posting instead of taking mine apart.
The issue was it was improperly jetted and we think something took a crap as it was making some bad noises and SQUEAKING. Squeaking as in a dry bearing squeak. Top end bearing feels fine, all tight but i figured from the start it was the crank but this alone isn't enough for me to say lets change the crank, as that's a hell of a job. We don't know what else could be shot. we pulled off the mag cover and checked if there was play in the mag side main bearing and there was not. we cannot get it to make the same noises unless its running. Everything sounds and feels good when rotated.
A little help bros?
Thanks
P.S. I do have video of the sounds it was making, you can't really hear the squeaking as it was my gopro and it didn't really pick it up. LMK if i should edit it and post it up to hear, I don't think its necessary.
