Rattle from engine.

I have a 1986 Spree NQ50. I use it around the "Pits" at race tracks..
I've had it since new, it has a little over 1200 miles on it.

The noise comes from the area of the kick starter,
sounds like the starter bendix isn't retracting after start up !!
I eliminated that situation by removing it.
It's not a hard knocking engine noise !
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.
Ken

OK, I took the started out..same rattle was there...
Found it was a loose baffle in the muffler.
Replaced the muffler, like new again :)

Thanks..Ken
