Actually posting for my Brother that doesnt have internet access... He recently purchased a 2001 FX470E from a guy in Northern Utah... whom y'all should stay away from... But thats neither here nor there.
He was told when he bought it that the timing chain had been replaced, and "everything else looked great" inside the engine. He got it home and pulled the engine side cover to inspect things and do an oil change. Found some yucky lookin chunks and what looks like a pin from a roller bearing. He's pulled the clutch and the rocker cover and cant see anything wrong. It apparently does seem to burn a *little* bit of oil, but otherwise runs great, tons of power. It also seems to have a weak starter- he thinks there may be something wrong with the clutch. Is there anything in the starter clutch that could have chunked? Where else could these bits be coming from?
