OK this is a long shot but if the bolts that hold the engine to the transmission were for some crazy reason loose it could allow the engine to move around and a little.......again this is a long shot but I thought its worth a look.......

Re: Bent crank?

Gary is absolutely right, when I bent mine I can run car over 2500 RPM but under that, die quickly. Thanks good at least for that I can load RZR to trailer. It is not in your case, you still run on idle. Just wondering, if just end of the crank where primary is slip on could bent and you see wobbling, but really can't see how this will happened. IMHO

Re: Bent crank?

maybe bad bearing rather than bent crank, that would cause wobble.

Re: Bent crank?

Don't run the motor without the clutch untill you find out if that's ok to do.....it's not with the weber....something to do with dampning/balance.....

do a runout test while cranking..dont start it...
