The rebuild was 100%. I split the case to fix a bad gasket
This pic shows no room for a washer and e-clip. Is that how it is when you try to put it back together?View attachment 685562
Take off your oil pump and take a pic of the crankshaft/seal.
I know what it is, had the same exact problem on a 372 I built.
Unless there's some weird taper damage the clutch shouldn't be the issue as long as it's tight. It just spins.
Not seated enough... likely damaged now.
First off. Wet around the muffler and decompression is a classic sign of coil failure with those blue coils. Sometimes they won't run from the last time and othertimes it will fire just enough to run. Sometimes a slower onset or even a little intermittent. The timing starts to go in them. Now you said you tuned it rich?
Make sure the left jet is set correctly. No advantage in turning that rich. Just going to make the insides dirty and die an early death. I ran a 372 for 21 yrs. Clutches are bullet proof. Never really had any trouble on the clutch side.
Got a ported one sent up to me and it was actually oiling for a day then turns out the gear wasnt in the drum slot and melted the gear on. IDK what to think.
No end play in the crank I would assume.
There are a couple variations of worm gears in the family also drum clips and washers. One is a full round clip.
Ones fatter that uses a thinner washer.
You said it it went together fine so...
Yes it matters if the clutch is the right way. Funny you ask that considering it is the right was up in the picture. Was that after you flipped it? Lol
Bearing is good and its not droping needles.
Lol never mind man. Good luck.So am impact gun wouldn’t seat the clutch all the way? Come on there is like ten threads.
