Balance Shaft Question

[DarthWookie]

Hey peeps, got a question. If my balnce shaft goes bad, what should I expect? Engine vibration, a rattling from the front of the engine? I currently have both those problems, but I've stopped driving the truck till I can get the carb rebuilt, it finally took a crap on me and tries to flood out when I stop. I'm hoping the vibration and the rattling from the front of the motor is the balance shaft, then I'll know where to start when I finally tear into it. It's always good for me to have direction lol

Yes and Yes... Also you can have low oil presure.
