Mine makes a sound that I think is the starter turning backwards as the engine comes up on compression and the rolls backsward a tad. It doesn't just shut off like a car engine as the starter gears are always in mesh but not turning with the engine, on shut off the one way clutch on the starter engages again. On the mid 80's versions if it backfired then it broke some parts, 95 and newer has a friction device that prevents this. Max

It's kind of like a small Howitzer going off. Real fun when there's some crusty old dudes gassing up down at Texaco. It doesn't do it every time. Most times it's just a little 'chuff'.

Reply #12 - 10/04/07 at 00:24:50 Mine sometimes makes a slight high(er) pitched "pheewer" type sound (almost a whine, but not quite?) when shutting down ... been doing it since I bought her new in '03, so to me it's normal.

Reply #13 - 10/04/07 at 00:38:23 Mine to be more specific, makes a clunk sound like something just fell hard .....gosh I'm not good at describing sounds! Sounds like it's not going to make a sound then all of a sudden you hear the clunk sound.It's pretty loud,noticeable.
