I just finished the process of moving my entire setup to a Giant mountain bike that uses a lighter, stronger frame than what I was previously using. My chain tension is great, my engine is mounted level, my spark plug is a nice chocolatey tan colour, I blew through my muffler and it's free flowing, and everything works great. I also changed the head gasket and properly torqued it down evenly. My compression in my engine is excellent. Also, my c clip in my carburetor is set to the standard 2nd notch from the top which has worked well for me.
However on one of my test rides today, at around mid-high throttle, I'm hearing this very strange like, hallowed sound. Maybe like a bogging sound? I'm not quite sure. I've never heard my engine make this noise, and it has several hundred miles on it.
Perhaps tomorrow I will record a 480p video of a test run that will capture how it sounds and post it here for further information.
My bike isn't shaking or anything weird, and actually the sound sort of goes away when I go WOT. But I just know it isn't a healthy sound that shouldn't be there, and I'm just curious if this will eventually lead to my engine failing for some reason, if this is something that has happened to someone else.
