Holy heck - now i understand why these 2-stroke chinese engines keep failing.
Bashing things into place with a hammer isn't exactly the correct assembly procedure.
I made up a jig that screws into the 6mm crankshaft thread that allows the helical crankshaft output gear to be evenly pressed into place.
I think that's why a good portion of these engines make so much gear noise - a slight amount of lateral movement is going to cause incorrect gear mesh.
