    if big end is gone you will be able to lift conrod up and down, side ways is normal movement,
    screw might be stuck in fly wheels or even in piston,i would definitely take off barrel and check piston it might be a ring

    How on earth would it get in the fly wheel :confused: Get a small but powerfull magnet and see if you can get anything to come out.

    What split the crank cases ? If so replace the bairings anyway don't put old ones back in. And check the crank for any obvious problems. it shouldn't move up and down but side to side movement is fine. And i'm not sure on the jetting.
