hi all, I have just built a gt 240 with all new everything, it runs fine and i've had it dyno'd and is all set up fine but I have a annoying rattle on tickover, a few revs and it goes, sounds like piston slap but everything is new, anyone any ideas..
thanks in advance

Here's a recording of my 1st start on my GT240, I get a bit of a rattle as the revs come down (around 1 minute in you'll perhaps hear it), is it like that? 1 year on it hasn't changed & no problems so far.

yours sounds more like the kickstart piston touching the starter gear, how many miles have you done ?GeorgeS wrote: ↑Fri Apr 13, 2018 8:48 am Here's a recording of my 1st start on my GT240, I get a bit of a rattle as the revs come down (around 1 minute in you'll perhaps hear it), is it like that? 1 year on it hasn't changed & no problems so far.

I'm afraid you'll have to completely rebuild it.
