Bad noise; coincidence?
The next morning after the paint dried, I replaced the throttle linkage and fired her up! UH OH !! A loud metallic sound occurred in time with motor revolution. Shut her down and pulled the plugs, turned it by starter motor ..no noise. Replaced plugs and ran it again..same loud noise. Ran it without fan belt..same noise. Pulled clutch inspection plate just to eliminate anything there..nothing. I’m thinking maybe a valve or rod bearing although it doesn’t sound deep enough for the lower end.
Very strange that it would take place after a SPRUCE UP.

I know it is difficult without hearing the noise but it is clanking loud enough not to run it without further inspection.
