Title: tinny rattle noise at wot
Post by Jsud04 on 06/01/14 at 13:38:10

Has any one ever heard a tinny sounding noise when you go from say 55 to WOT? NOT THAT I do this often..but today when two up I needed to and it's the first I had heard it...sounds like what 4 wheelers do when you horse on em.

Probably just needed a downshift to get the rpms up. They'll rattle like that if you lug the engine.

Its spinning not lugging...I am going fast and then dump the throttle

Your top or bottom motor mounts are possibly loose, the top's location is obvious, but be sure to tighten the 3 holes in the bracket mounts on both ends at the top (3 bolts).   Hold on one end while tightening the other end at each of the 3 places up under the gas tank.

The bottom two mounting points are more devious, the front is a LOOOONNNG bolt that goes through both of the peg mounts on either side.    Hold on one end while tightening the other end.  Bottom back mount is closer to the pivot point for the swing arm (while you are back there clean then tighten the - negative -  electrical ground point since you are in the neighborhood).

You can't go further looking for your sound without making sure the engine mounts are nice and firm.

After that, start laying your hand on the speedo when you go to "tinny ricky" noising and see if it stops.

After that, start laying your hand on the headlight when you go to "tinny ricky" noising and see if it stops.

Good luck, there are just so so many places that can make a noise that you have to actively remove the known "easy causes" before you get into your serious hunting.

Check the back of the belt cover as well, mine broke at the back bolt and the cover would then flop around and rattle.

I'll crawl around it tomorrow and check into that. But it seem inherent to the rpms under a ton of demand...ie from highway speeds to wot, it just sounds like slapping metal... Almost like pre ignition...but it runs fine other wise no noise until wot on demand...you can work up slowly to wot no issues...can the throttle be so wide open that it would go lean and pre ignites?

If you are cruising along at 55 in high gear with two people on a savage and then suddenly crack the throttle wide open you are lugging the engine.  I think that's what's causing the rattle you hear. Grab your passenger, go for a ride and try downshifting before you whack the throttle open. See if it makes a difference.

I had an Oxygen sensor on my bike when I jetted my carb.  And yes, when you first "crack" the throttle open the engine can go lean when you have a roundslide carb - but the CV carb is not supposed to do that.  On the roundslide carb when you crack the throttle open fast.....the velocity of the air in the venturi suddenly drops, and it does not pull from the jets as well as it did before you cracked the throttle.  In a second or two the velocity stabilizes and the mixture goes back to normal if the bike is jetted correctly.  When you crack the throttle open fast on a CV carb you are opening a butterfly, and the slide that is vacuum controlled is supposed to react by dropping and keeping the vacuum constant....and it will then raise and allow more air flow as the engine speed increases.

If you open the throttle fast and the rattling is heard.....but not heard if you roll on the throttle a bit slower but still are going to full throttle....then maybe it is a lean condition caused by opening the throttle too quickly.

Yep, Dave is right.  I had a similar problem and started opening the throttle a bit slower to cure it.

It might be pre-ignition.  Try a better grade of gas on your next fill up.

Dave described what's happening to a t...I'll take that advice...I've never owned a carbed anything.

Woo Hoo!  My lucky day.

When I had the O2 sensor and meter on my bike to help with the jetting, I really learned a lot about how the mixture moves around with throttle settings.

You might try going up one main jet size and see it that helps.

We'll it be an 86 so I believed its sitting at 155 already... Its a drive it nicer issue I think. I have the mix out 2.75 today but it was 50 degrees when warm 70+ i set it at 2.25 or 2.5.... Drilled exhaust 4 1/4 holes.


Correct me if I am wrong but there are two times you can drive a carber motor to ping...especially a single...lug it at low speed or dump the throttle at high speed...both starve it of fuel for different reasons...

The other times would be elevation and temp swings I.e. cold = lean...sound about right?

What kind of air cleaner and muffler do you have?  Have you ever had the carb apart, changed jets, or done a white spacer mod?

You can lug an engine at any speed. It's a matter of how fast the engine is turning,not how fast the bike is going. But Dave is correct. The result of lugging the engine, ie. opening the throttle quickly when the engine is not spinning fast enough to produce the power that you've suddenly demanded, is a lean fuel air mixture that causes the rattle, ping , or whatever term you use to describe the noise. Kick it down a gear - maybe even two - and then snap the throttle open, and I think the problem will go away.

You can go back and correct it......just go to the first post, hit Modify, and change whatever you want.

Stock muffler drilled. Carb is in it original state. Never changed jets or white spacer...I am not sure I know what that white spacer is or if I am comfortable doing it.

Well there's your problem....These things can run pretty lean with stock jetting! :o

Your thinking the whitenspacer will do it? I'm currently running a 155   jet in my 86... Thinking 2,#4 nylon washers?
