Need help with figuring out why this happened in a motor only a week old

 

[Frogslayer]

Non hardened gear maybe? Shaft bearing or crank shaft bearing?

Ty I'm waiting on replacement parts been stuck in a town for the last four days waiting. Going to replace EVERYTHING. Just trying to figure out why it happened to keep from repeating

Like Frogslayer said, the gear wasn't hardened properly. It happens. Hopefully the next one is OK
Make sure ya grease the gears. Not too much, but just enough.

Looks like the two gears weren't machined with the same pitch and the little one ate the big one.

Non hardened gear, improper alignment and no lubrication. There's been a big batch of the small gear not being hardened lately. This is 1 of the first non hardened clutch baskets. If its new is contact the vendor. If not you're gonna need a new basket.

Miss-aligned gears. It's only using half of the gear teeth.
