Clutch New motor with play in clutch gear very noisy without motor

[sactownie]

1st off let me say this is my 1st motor bicycle, my question is does anyone know if its normal for a new motor to have some play in the big clutch gear that meshes with the small gear coming from the crank on the right side of motor???
I just got my rig together with a shift kit, I haven't put fuel in it yet but its really noisy peddling it around with the clutch locked in.
Its a really loud clanging noise and I believe is coming from the loose gears? Is it normal to have that noise when peddling without the motor? I'm afraid to fire this thing up without knowing, I don't want to damage anything or myself.
PS is there anyway to adjust that gear mesh?

are you sure it is not just the 3 pins rattling in the pressure plate holes?

Well I can actually see the sloppiness in the 2 gears with the cover off. It makes a clunk noise when I mesh them together. I asked this question 3 weeks ago when I got the kit in the mail but never really got an answer. Well im going to just fire it up today regardless. If something breaks I guess its all cheap and fixable.
I wanted a quiet motor and I went through the trouble of lining all the covers with sheets of rubber and such and looks like im going to have a noisy one and what really sucks is I live in california and the motor i got was a real pain in the butt to get so not like I can get another one really easy! The place I got it is sold out.

Hopefully sellers will ship parts to california to fix the one I have?

turns out it runs good and it isn't very loud at all. hopefully those gears last awhile.
