Bit of an odd one… my Brother has owned his 1959 Venom for a good 50 years.. and he’s quite adept at fixing it, and he’s obviously intimately familiar with how it runs and sounds…..he’s also skilled enough to pull it to pieces, and re build it.
Recently it’s been sounding different, with what he describes as a tappety tinny knock…as if you were Tapping a tin cup on the floor …It’s noticeable on tick over ….. and the noise builds as the revs increase ….the last time he took it out he decided to call it a day and come back after only a couple of miles as he didn’t like the sound of it.
The only thing he has noticed is a little side play on the big end, and end play on the rockers… this has flummoxed him and any ideas would be appreciated
As he put it it is only a single so it shouldn’t be that difficult
