Default max 18 cv r pull start

My engine has less than 1 gallon and broke in properly. But, the starting shaft & the crankshaft has some excessive free play that the strating shaft moves/shift in & out. First, it made loud noise intermittmently. Now, the motor locked up. So, my question is, is this a defect? What part do i need to fix the problem? Thanks.

Default RE: max 18 cv r pull start

Without seeing the engine, we'd not know what may be wrong. It's normal for the rear starting shaft to move in and out a bit. It 'floats' in the rear housing. The oil film in the engine provides cushioning. Using low-oil so-called "RC Car" fuels can cause difficulties because the engine may not get enough lubrication.
