Well just got my carbs sorted. Went for a drive and something has come unglued in the bottom of the engine. Huge loud slapping like a rod banging. Very rpm related. On the 3 4 side. No damage to the plugs. Still runs but it is clear that something is very broken. Will check valves tomorrow but I am betting the case has to be split.
Any thoughts on easy things to check or where to start? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

what is that? one of the tiny screws for the helper springs? Nope! It was the cable anchor for the Tangerine throttle linkage. The small set screw came out and made a few dents before exiting. The big silver steel thing on the upper right hand side of the head is what was sucked in. |
