G16 engine noise
I just got my first gas cart. It is a G16. My question is how loud are these motors? I am used to working on cars and this g16 almost sounds like it has a slight to moderate knock. I eliminated everything down to the motor. Everyone else thinks it is probably just normal.
I just want to know if these are normally quiet engines. If they are I will rebuild it before it gets worse. Thanks Mike |

Re: G16 engine noise
If you hear a knock then it's not normal. If it were a two stroke I'd say yes they are noisy, but your engine should be fairly quiet. Sounds like you already checked, but make sure it's not an exhaust leak. I suppose it could be a primary clutch noise, but not likely.

Re: G16 engine noise
Could be valve clatter, adjust to .004 cold.

Re: G16 engine noise
The motor sounds fine when I have it in neutral but when I put it in drive and drive it it has like sputtering noise coming out of the muffler like a putting noise

Re: G16 engine noise
I would lean toward a worn drive clutch making the noise, try removing the drive belt and testing again.
