Brute ticking

[750 kawi]

I have this nasty ticking sound coming from my engine on my 06 brute 750. Imediatly though it was the valves, so i adjusted them, but they didnt seem that out. I did notice that when i went to turn the engine over by hand witha ratchet on the pull cord bolt that it could move it back and forth and kind of hear the same sound as when it is running. Anyone have any ideas on what this could be? I did drown it once, but no oil made it into the cranckcase. I made sure of that. And after that it only wanted to run on one cylinder, but i worked that out with some new plugs. It is snorkeled and when i haul it in the truck and try to start it after it seems like it is locked up, after a few trys at starting it finally goes. Any idea, before i decide to rip the engine out of this thing?

Well if u haul it full of gas its hydro locking... I quit hauling mine right full cause of this. Also the fuel shut off valve is such a pain to get too to stop the hydrolocking.

Ticking could be many things but if u can move the crank in and out I'd say the thrust bearings gone. Fix it before its more costly when it realy knocks bad..

Also could be something with the clutch loose Mabe too... Other side tho

You may have misunderstood me Tex. I can twist it back and forth, not push it back and forth. It has about of inch of play back and forth. Maybe a rod bearing?

Timing chain Mabe. They come down that side also...

Not sure. Never rolled mine back and forth from behind the pull cord.
