Left side engine knock?

[skoobyj]

Hi!
Tonight I was messin with my blaster and I am pretty sure at idle I am hearing some light ticking on the left side of the motor. This motor was completely rebuilt and only has about 15 hours on it since the rebuild.
Any suggestions? Could this be normal?
I will take my stethoscope to it and report back, but any info will be great!

Oh, Also- The blaster is a bit hard to start when it's cold. Takes about 8-10 kicks. Should I try a new plug or what? When it's warm it starts right up! Even after sitting a week.
Thanks

thats your prob!:-D


Really though, if it dosent lack power and it is a small ticker sound your ok. That how the blasters sound. The day i rolled mine off the show room and fired it up it made those sounds.

A new plug will help with starting and try pulling the choke all the way on the cold day starts.

My #2 blaster makes even more noise, but it's been modded. Thing runs like a Champ!
