Monte, I don’t remember seeing/watching the video on this, maybe you can repost.   So, the engine makes the same noise with the recoil removed, so that rules the recoil noise out.  The latest 58 Lightwin I revived has a little rattle at low/idle speeds, and that noise is the throttle lever “rattling up and down” hitting the support and fuel tank, perhaps this is what your noise is.  Keep in mind, these engines only have that way washer that help support the mag plate in place and give it some friction so the throttle lever stays put.
