    got my engien back form the shop today, from my engien rebuild including bearings seals and waterpump, ive bolted it all up and started it with much trouble but to a horrendus noise, so i changed everythign that could cause the noise full transmission twice, magento etc but to no avail, when i do get the engien started it is very ruff asif the bears are stiff, and without throttle the engine conks out and crank immediatly stop rather than spinning to a stop. any suggestions, apart from take it back to the hop which im gonna ring tomo but what could it be

    rekon the crank aint central, cant reallli see it bein the bearing/bearings if u had new ones with the rebuild, but cant rule that out tbh as could be a manufacturing fault :confused:arc:

    Walk in with it. Dump it on the counter. Wave your arms about and shout a bit and storm out. They should get the idea.
