Had my first race today- Heard a pinging and popping in practice, thought it was the jetting, but the plug looked good.
Went out and raced and my engine died after knocking and pinging, it will start but there is a bad knock and I have to press gas to keep it running, I only ran it for about 5 seconds to show my grandpa.
What should we look for? He thinks it is a bearing, somebody mentioned that it could have thrown a rod, but he said it wouldnt run if it did that-
What would you check first?
Is there any good mechanics around Rochelle Illinois?? (Byron area)
