i bought a new 301 cc predator from harbor freight.first thing i did was remove the governor before breaking it in.right away it was loud clicking and knocking.i dont think it is due to removing governor that seemed to go smoothly it ran ok just real noisy..after 30 minutes i drained the oil and pulled the side cover back off what i found was the connecting rod is sloppy side to side im sure that is where the knocking is from..my question is do they make a wider bearing to eliminate the thrust .it slides easy side to side' any advice is welcome and thank you in advance
