BrockMoto Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I was riding today and all of the sudden my shee sounded like shit... i read a post reeds going bad.... tell me what you think I was riding normal...then slowed down to make a turn by my friends house...(real slow turn....cant piss of his parents) then when i got back on it , it was like poping and shit...and i don't mean the exhaust i mean like if you were hitting a pencil on your computer desk but in no specific order...( IE not like it was something hitting in the cylinder..at a steady beat) then i turned around freaked out so i shut it off as i coasted down the hill so if it was bad i wouldn't make it worse...and try to get as close to the house as possible... then got tired of slow and started it again and it sounded fine....when i pulled in the garage it sounded normal and then i thought maybe i could here a little rattle on the right side but It is VERY possible i was hearing things.... info--- Difficult starting past week... left carb leaks gas when off if gas is left on I have flat slide carbs and one bolt from the four bolt reed cage is suddenly missing thanks for your help Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinner Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 The difficult starting could be due to your engine sucking in air where that bolt should be on your reed. The fuel leaking is likely caused by your floats being out of adjustment(mine used to do the same). The other guys will probably chip in and help you about the noise. And you are sure that it wasnt the kick starter rattling?, just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregbowler Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 This sounds like the noise I had about a month ago. Check your water pump impeller and bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Madd Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) Clutch chatter is normal I wouldn't worry too much. Yeah. The noise should go away when you pull in the clutch though. If it doesn't, something else may be wrong--I'd check the impeller, as mentioned and of course make sure the clutch is still intact. A clutch bolt could have broken off and be rolling around in there somewhere. Edited July 27, 2006 by J-Madd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodro77 Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 i had a noise all of a sudden from the clutch , took it a part and found out the c clip from the idle gear fell off and broke the plastic water pump gear and messed up the clutch basket gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
