I had posted about needing some help with some engine noises from my 2N. After tinkering around, I have found the problem. THat's the good news. The bad news is that I'm not sure how to address correcting it. I will attempt to explain and perhaps someone would be gracious enough to offer suggestions.
The defective part is in the FO-4 repair manual on page 111. It is part #28 described as a ratchet. THe part is very loose and appears to be slightly bent. As the engine is running, it rattles around. There are teeth on this ratchet that apparently have gotten caught on the adjoining metal and have been chewed up a bit. That would account for the noises that I have been hearing. I would like to remove this but the book does not really show how to get to it. Since I'm somewhat of a novice (to put it mildly), I need to have some better directions. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Or...maybe I don't need to remove it? I don't like the noise though. Makes me think the pistons are going to jump out!
