Hello,
This is my first post, but I have been lingering around here for a few month's. My question is my 450 is making a pretty good knocking noise. It seems located toward the front of the engine area. The valves have been adjusted, compression is good. One thing I noticed is if you put your hand infront of the snorkle that you kinda get a little bit of air blowing out, usually it is sucking. You can put a paper towel infront and it will suck it in, but then kinda blow it away. Also it has now power and it dosen't seem to run right. At WOT it sputters and bucks. I just recently put piston and rings in , ( had been smoking really bad since last summer). Also while I had the jug off, I checked the cam chain tensioner, it seemed ok, but I did notice that when installing the tensioner, that if I left it all the way out ( not retracting the tensioner ) that there wasen't much tension on the chain. Sorry for it being long winded, just wanted to give you as much info as possible. Thanks Dale
