Atco first start
Hello,
My 4 stroke ATCO with a suffolk motor started today. I flushed the oil twice and then ran it again but I get a loud metalic knock when under power. When I ground the plug and pull the starter there is no such noise. What do you think ? Rod Knock?
Now I know it will run I am toying with striping down the engine and rebuilding. Any tips?
Many thanks for any help,
James
