Usually the only thing that will bend or break a push rod is if the valves get out of time or the valves float from over revving and the valves hit the piston. You may have a broken piston, bent connecting rod, or broken valve inside the engine.
Im not sure, the piston was replaced right before I got it, mayby that says something?... I dont know if the part is a push rod or what, but they are in a chamber right next to the chamber the piston is in, and threre are two of em, one was mangled and bent to heck. Timing might be a part, as the kickstart seems to pop back more than it should when I try kicking it, and I was told this is most likely due to timing.
