Well, looks like I may be having to tear into the motor sooner than I wanted. On my way home a couple of days ago, and noticed a loss of power. I thought it was probably carb related, so I rolled on the throttle in fifth just to see if it got better or worse. At about 3/4 throttle I could hear a very distinct, loud knock, so I pulled over. Idling, it sounded fine no miss or sputter, and no knock. Revved the motor a few times and everything seemed ok. Took of again and accelerated normally and the knock returned. Made it home and got the stethoscope out. Narrowed the noise down to the #1 cyl. The knock seems to be coming from the head our the Cam cover area. Going to have to wait a couple of weeks to work on it again. Heading out of town sunday for work, so I guess I just get to stress about it until then. Any ideas out suggestions of common problems would be appreciated.
