    @skull-I didn't even know there were serial #'s on there. They do match 3E98 on both. The LH side fit looks worse than the RH side. @Jim-I did notice a bit of clutch wobble. I'll get a longer vid.

    Got the sump off. Not too bad inside, besides that piece that I am assuming would be part of the cam chain guide

    Thank you to everyone that has responded. I have the carbs off right now (BS38's) to check my sketchy idle. The left carb had a bleed type pilot:whistle: and the rh one had the non bleed. Luckily I had some non bleed type at hand. I have not checked the right side of the crank yet. If that all...

    I just searched. There are quite a few threads on this. It sounded like cam bearings to me but possible chain tension or guides..
