No! It should spin true and straight. Check the bolts to make sure none are missing or loose.

if the bolts are all there an tight you need a new balancer. The stock ones are junk aren't made to withstand the rpms we put out on these motors.

Don't continue running it like that. Get a new balancer on there as soon as possible if it's on there tight.

There is only one bolt and the balancer has a friction fit onto the crank...so in other words your balancer is junk. Romac time
