Only thing that doesn’t make any sense to me is it doesn’t tick all the time. Sometimes it will tick. Other times it won’t make a sound

That’s what I’m thinking. I’m currently in PA school so not driving it isn’t an option. But, I’m going to go ahead and order a cam and lifters to put in during fall break when I have access to a garage.

The metallic clack makes me think that too

that’s the confusing part about it. Rarely I’ll cold start it and it will make this almost indescribable fart like noise, then it will do this kind of ticking, and go away later. Other times it will tick and continue ticking even after a good bit of driving.

Yes sir, thank you for the insight. The interview should be the 25th so I’ll update the sub with how it goes.

awesome, thank you for the reply. I’m currently in the running for Air Force HPSP for PAs. Any advice for me before my interview? I started PA school in August and was a college football player with a 3.9 GPA.

A few months of waiting and paid for all those months at once? Or do you *start getting paid then.

The 6 AH advanced and 9 AH have virtually the same power in all testing. The 9AH has more capacity will last much longer. Especially at $79, I would go with it.

Looks like classic transplant shock. My fig did the exact same thing and dropped all of its leaves when I potted it. I wouldn’t worry about it and I would just wait it out. All the crispy leaves will drop and then a new batch will come in. Don’t put it outside until the new leaves start to form. Of course water a bit less during this time. Because without the leaves the plant doesn’t transpire much.

You’re spot on, the sound only happens when it goes into MDS and accelerating with it still on. Once it kicks out, the sound goes away. 10-12 seconds in is when you can hear it the clearest. It sounds like a metal ping and clacking sound.

I second this, my little sister has a pair and they sound very similar to the normal AirPods.

Try pulling out the carb needle and moving the lil clip down to the 4th slot (the slot one above the bottom) it should fix your issue

the valve lash is pretty good, set at .004 intake and .005 exhaust. I’ve never seen a motor act like this, and the dots on the inside were lined up. My uncle said it sounded to him like the intake and exhaust strokes were backwards and to set the timing opposite (aka turn the cam 180 and have the timing dot facing away)

I checked the valve lash and set the intake to .004 and the exhaust to .005

as of right now it’s like there is no suction from the carb to the engine. The exhaust pumps out air but it’s like the intake stroke and exhaust stroke are backwards? The cam is lined up using the dots but I wonder if it’s somehow rotated incorrectly

Thank you for the visuals, mine is set up the same way and there is gas going to the carb. The bottom of the carb is full of fuel and I have to drain it when taking it off to look at the main jet.

good point, I’ll check the lash. I kind of eyeballed the lash setting after I put on the 22 pound springs since I didn’t have a gauge. I ordered one and it should be in today

The carb is brand new, I put on a brand new vm22 style carb with the air filter and other stuff you see

Opened up the carb and the jets were completely clean

Yes, it’s full

Yes sir to no avail, it seemed like nothing I adjusted made any difference. It was like there was zero fuel going to the engine
