Have you checked the oil? Are there any signs of metal shavings in it?


Is it a knocking, ticking or squealing noise?


Where is it coming from on the motor? Top end, bottom end?


Just need a little more info.

Is it when you try to put it in gear, or as soon as it starts running?


Where about is the sound coming from?
