So my engine is making an obnoxious ticking noise near the head. This started happening after I decided I wanted to change the engines position slightly by lowering the front mount / raising the rear mount, and to make it fit better I spun the (slant) head around so the spark plug was on the exhaust side rather than the intake side. After firing it back up it ticked extremely loud so I then replaced the slant head with center fire head and the noise doesn't seem to be quite as loud but is still very annoying.
The noise increases in speed as the engine increases rpm's, and it gets so loud at high speeds it is stronger than my exhaust and bothers my ears. I thought maybe the piston could be smacking my spark plug, but i was told I wouldn't still be riding it if that was the case....I'm also using an Ngk iridium spark plug, and adjusted the carb to run more lean.
So...any ideas?
I can post a video of it tomorrow but it's 330 am here and Im sure I **** the neighborhood off enough by riding it home from work at this hour, I don't need to go back out there and start revving it up lmao
