I changed my oil today using 20/50 brad penn, and I changed all the gaskets for the exhaust. the exaust sounds beautiful.
My friend was helping me and I decided to take him home. After driving 5 city blocks, I heard a weird noise like the fan is touching something (squeeking). pulled over turned off the car. I try to start the car, the noise is there as the starter is spining. Pushed the car back home, double check everything, even try to loosen the exhaust, the same thing. The noise looks like its coming from the starter or flyweel. I removed the coil cable so the car wont start, try to start it and there was no noise. I put the cable back, the car started and the noise dissapeared. but each time i start the car i hear the noise as the starter is spinning, except when the coil is unplug. during the oil change, I removed the round plate next to the oil plug by accident at the bottom. I put it back the same way.. is my flyweel loose or is it the starter solenoid? why would the solenoid come out as i am driving? |

Still tryng to locate a starter. Anythng else in in that area that can be loose or torn to to make such noise? |

[/color][/b][font=Arial Black][size=7] everything is fine, but it does not start here. I think that I need carb adjustment. It runs fine but it looks like its running on a bad gas. or on 3 cyl. I still need an expert to help me set this up |
