It will unscrew, I'm not sure, but it may be a left hand thread, if you have a pliers with padded jaws, just turn it with the pliers, it wil turn off, I've done with a few of the Go carbs.

Have you tried the .25 with the 0801 pipe yet? I getting ready to, it seems to be more linear, from what I have heard, a friend was using the 2047 pipe with the .25, said, great bottom, top end seemed weak.

.25 + 0801 its AWESOME at least in my opinion but for medium to big size tracks ... on the technical track of the video, it cuts so much bottom ... thats why i used the 2047 ...

Could it be your clutch making the noise? Anyone tried a OS p4 plug, my LHS is out of p3 plugs

A rattling sound - Hmmm interesting

Couple of things -

How new is the motor
What temps is it running at

Why I ask, is that newer motors if you run them too cold when they have lots of pinch can make a "tinging" or "pinking" sound which is quite audible.
This is not a good sound as it means the con rod is getting hammered by the piston coming up on the pinch area when the engine temp is too low to allow correct "fit" between piston and sleeve. Not saying this is what's happening in your case, but it could be described as a rattle I guess. If your running below 80 deg C this might be your mystery noise. Bit of a shot in the dark, but all I can think of I'm afraid.
Let us know what you find out

When a rear bearing is on they way out it can make a rattle sound.
When the car is running put your hand on the engine head and push down a little.
If the rattle goes away it could be your rear bearing.

You may either have a loose fin on the head or it may be the tinging noise the engine makes when its tight ...

Thanks guys
I'm pretty sure its not the clutch, I took that apart and everything seems secure. The engine is not new - done about 2 gallons of fuel and usually runs at 220-240 F at race pace. I will open it up today and have a look checking the other thinks you have suggested, thanks very much.

3port sport with pull start or anything? That could be rattling on the back of the motor. Gear mesh all good? That rattles when it's loose and spinning.

No, no pull start, so its not that.
Took it apart today and can't see any thing loose in side, might be the rear bearing - I pushed down on the head when the engine was running and it did go away for a second or two then came back.
Whats the best way of making sure this is the culprit? it's not a cheap component to replace if its not whats causing the issue. Would it be catastrophic to run it until it fails?
How do I best remove it from the crank case as I can see no way to get it out? Sorry for all the questions but as I said i'm abit new to this and although its not an expensive engine I want to take care of it and learn how to service it.
Thanks for all your help so far guys, keep it coming!
