You planning on replacing the balancer yourself? If yes you will need a special puller and the install kit. Don't try to use the crank bolt as some have unsuccessfully tried, or you will likely damage the crank snout, which tends to happen.

I've not long replaced mine and I know how important it was to have the correct gear before attempting it

Oh look I Think Il just leave it to the pros on this one sounds like needs a few things now. I don't think the balancer has to do with the choking issue .


It's only a slight wobble but It is a wobble and I assume anything other than centred is not alright? . I'm really not a mechanic lol but these forums have helped me out big time before and is nice to get a second opinion.

Yep I would be one of those that got into trouble trying to put the balancer back on using the crank bolt ... its not a hard job if you use the correct tools.

It's not going to limp mode. I think it the fuel pump failing under load. Gotta love these forums. I will go get one of them Tools though and check first
Get a Topdon one or Vident. Topdon do most makes with almost full features. For $500 they will pay for themselves with one use sometimes.
