I'm very angry.
I finally got my centrifugal clutch working, and I just rode my bike a few hours ago.
I come back to ride it again, and it doesn't start. Instead, I hear a grinding sort of noise, and when I open up the head, I found that the piston only moves maybe 1/8 of the time and only one of the wheels on the inside seems to move.
ARRRRRRGGGGGG
So am I SOL?
EDIT: Here's a video where I explain my problem.

EDIT 2: I've pretty much concluded that the clutch side of the crankshaft is slipping somehow. It may still cause piston movement, but any sort of pressure on the piston causes that side of the crankshaft to slip. I really hope I won't have to rip open my entire engine.
