a bit of dowel or broom handle also works as a rough and ready mechanics stethoscope. as long as it stiff it will conduct sound. a proper stethoscope isnt expensive either.

neil he said it wasnt magnetic so i doubt its the timing gears as there all steel are they not? that doesnt mean theres not a bushing somewhere failing.

Yes you're right, I missed that so thanks for the catch. That would rule out gears and lifters and pretty much would only leave plain bearings, such as on the crank or the cam/governor bearings

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
