44 A knocking sound

[Josh S]

Looking for some info to what could be causing knocking sound coming from clutch area. When idling or at full throtle it runs fine with no knocking,the knocking starts when a load is apllied as when the clutch is engaged or if the clutch is disengaged and the governor kits in it will knock, any info would be apprieciated. thanks

I'd start with checking to see if the flywheel is loose or the clutch driver.

Whoa, That was odd I looked at it thinking I don't have a 44 A it wasn't until I realised the name didn't have a period after the S.

jdman,
They don't have much power either, do they?

How's it running now?

I checked the fly wheel and it is tight and has .018 end play, with the clutch driver what exactly should I be looking for? as to the timming I just readjusted the valves and set the timming and it is running strong. I had it out today and when engaging the clutch you hear the knocking but once its moving it goes away, so while I was moving I applied the brake and the knocking came back. Thanks for the help

I had the same thing happen to my 70. Whenever it was under a load or pull it would knock and run smooth when not in a pull. I ended up tearing the engine down and my right rod bearing was pretty worn. I ended up having to build up the journal and having it turned back down, because I ran to long before fixing.Good luck
