Hi all,
I've got a 1500 engine (Midget) and on start-up I get a rattle for about a second before it settles into an idle. It appeared (or at least, became more evident) after a recent oil & filter, and switch to 20W50.
Hard to convincingly describe sounds, but it's quite 'hollow', almost like someone shaking a ball bearing in a tin can.
It's been a couple thousand miles since the valves have been set, don't know if something may have closed up on me? And if it were a valve, would it then go away?!?
But otherwise... possibilites, starting with the best first? :wink:
