I stopped at one of the local joints yesterday afternoon and before I shut the key off, while at an idle, the motor came to an abrupt stop. I can turn the primary clutch almost a full turn either way before it hits a stop. I don't think that is a good thing.
Anybody care to venture a guess as to what all might be broke?

no good at all... sounds like a teardown is in your immediate future my friend, hopefully the secondary damage will be minimal since it was at idle opposed to higher RPM.

My first though was a ring but that seems odd if you can move the crank that much.

Is that a possibility? I like your answer best so far!
