Funny noise from engine

Post by Tazmantic »

So she’s finally running but needs fine tuning but I’m a bit worried about a bit of a whine/funny noise is this ok or can anyone pin point what it could be ;) I’ve attached a link to the video

About normal, I suspect once warm the push rods will need adjusting and it will calm down.

Hi jackstringer thanks for that I was worried it was a bearing failing or something, hopefully I can get it ticking over as nice as yours. Also how do I embed the videos like you did?

Cheers

Sounds pretty normal to me. You get a whirring/whining, from the primary drive, dynamo and mag chain, dynamo brushes etc.

When your video is running just right click on it and choose 'Copy video URL' then paste in in your message.'
