my 750 engine, help

Here is a crappy video of my engine starting cold, and then running.

You will hear the clunking I am wondering about, there is no picture just darkness and sound though.

Can anyone inform me where to start getting rid of this annoying noise?

As you will see, it goes away at higher rpm, then comes back at idle.

i think the link will work now.

Did you have the microphone real close to the bottom of the motor when you recorded that?

It sounds like the primary chain, but much louder than normal, if you had the microphone right next to the motor then that would explain why it is so loud.

Have you synced the carbs?

it was above the motor at the clutch handle at first, then i moved it to the motor after it was running for a minute.

it sounds more top end when listening to it, but then it also sounds lower like in the crank case, im not sure. so i posted it here.

I will take another video of it running in daylight some time today.

Sounds like a candidate for exploratory surgery! :S 'Course, I'm always looking for an excuse to tear something apart! Here's my guaranty: I'll either fix it, or break it so bad you won't want it back!:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :whistle:

That is pretty annoying. Here's what worked for me- I turned this little button all the way to the left.
sorry Randy, just being a d**khead; I've been stuck home all day waiting for the Cable Guy to show. ComCastic, my a$$.

big ole glass of Prune Juice will perk you right up. try it ! :whistle:

Thats better with daylight. What is that "squock" noise when you start it? (at 11 seconds.) Is the timing OK?
Those butts are gonna kill ya...

Gotta get back to the peanut gallery.

the sqawk was the starter, i need to take it off and rebuild it as well, so many things to do and so little cash to do it with.

Don't lose sleep about fixing that starter clutch unless it fails, or you are openning up the engine anyway. My daily rider with 97,000 miles has been making this noise for at least 14,000 miles, without getting any worse. Sometimes the cure is more of a problem than the disease.

This sounds like my bikes have sounded when I was rebuilding and the carbs were WAY out of sync or the floats were screwed up, so that the cylinders were fighting each other....
