These Chinese 2 strokes make so many wierd noises I quit worrying about it. Some of them make a whining noise, some a knocking noise. Just ride it, if it blows up buy another one. At this price they are almost disposible.

My newest one rattles something fierce. When I put my hands on the cooling fins it's much quieter. I knew the fins could make noise, but had no idea they could be that loud. In the process of finding an old fan belt to cut up, to wedge small pieces in between the fins and see if that helps.
