Reply To: 2hp knock

Maybe a stupid question, but but I don’t see it mentioned here, yet: Is the coil hitting the flywheel? Is the mag plate friction screw installed and snug?

Also, like Don said, don’t discount the lower unit. I have known a couple of pretty good mechanics over the years that thought a power head had a knock, only to find a bad tooth on a lower unit pinion gear. Sound transmission can be funny. (And no, it wasn’t me, luckily.)

Long live American manufacturing!
