Welcome. Those motors did sound like a bucket of bolts at idle. Without hearing the sound I cannot tell you if it's a normal GPz motor or if it is unhappy. But the clutch baskets in particular sounded like a dry bearing almost from new. If the clutch is pulled in it stops yeah? If so, most likely the clutch basket is the culprit. But, before ordering a new one, remove it and have a look as it may be just the normal mechanical groanings of a GPz donk. If the basket is worn, replace it as the fingers sheer off and tend to make the remaining bits very unhappy too.
