ok so back to what this thread was originally meant for. I decided to just skip the start/run video and went ahead and took the clutch bell off to examine the rest of the clutch components, here's what I found:

Looks to me like the top right clutch shoe has become lose or broke and started wearing against the clutch bell. Since it is out of position it was moving the others as well. So I think I just found my problem. I have new clutch shoes and springs on the way, but it looks like I may need a tool for the shoe springs.
Alright I now have brand new clutch shoes and springs as well as a new flywheel. I'm going to put the clutch back together this weekend and test it if I got time. I have a quick question about the springs though: do the springs rest in the but that holds the flywheel in place or do they rest on each other?
Thanks for the pic. I'll put it on the nut like it says. Also I don't have a manual for the savage because the guy I bought it from said he lost it. Oh well, thanks anyway!
Just a quick note, it looks like you are missing the bushing that goes between the screw on the end of the crank and the clutch bearing? I think I can see a washer but no bushing? Part #86171View attachment 3134
And just like that the engine is back together! Just gotta let the locktite dry and retune tomorrow (If it's nice out) I would like to give a big thanks to everyone that helped me towards getting this thing put back in the right order!!
