something wrong with my elite?

Post by KINGÔäó »

I just turned on my elite today and the engine sounds different then usual.
Yesterday it ran fine and now the whole ped vibrates and is way louder then usual, i cant find the problem.
might be my bore or pistons but I checked them and there fine any reason for this to happen?

Greetings:

Top-end fasteners can and do get loose sometimes with heat-cycles. The exhaust flange, particularly, can need retorquing a few times after a rebuild. Same for headbolts.

If you checked that stuff, look for something out-of-balance in under the belt cover.

If that chechs out, consider examining the alternator assembly. That's another part that is known to work loose sometimes.

Hope this helps get your started, and keep us posted with your findings.
