500af running great with carb fixed, took it for a good burn. It like to pop out of third gear. Any suggestions or links that cover this issue?

broken snap-ring...drain the oil through a paint filter and see if any metal chunks come out.

yes...
could be worn gear dogs too...that's very common on 3rd gear.
either way, you're gonna have to split the bottom end open to fix it....be the perfect time for a complete rebuild :-D

Any thing to look for while it's a part?  Suggested mods while it's open?

Working on the picture thing but looking at everything,  it all looks good other than the snap ring. How often do they break like that?  Thanks for the help.

it can happen at any given time...
it's wise to replace ALL of them any time you have to split the cases...it's cheap insurance.
and the last thing you want to happen, is to have one break shortly after you get it all back together after having it all apart.
