Have you checked the plug colour?
Oh, and how tight is the toolbox lid? You'll be surprised how often that causes a mystery rattle!

It can give you an idea what's happening in the engine. Have you had it tuned at all?

Right ok. I will check the plug tomorrow
Not touched it since I've had it about 6 months now.
It has a 177 kit on it .

Have you checked the oil level in the gearbox?
Is there much movement in the flywheel abd rear wheel?
Checking inside the carb box for anything loose.

It could be anything TBH, there's a load of things that make a rattling noises, without seeing it, I'd be wary of trying to make a diagnosis.

Thanks for all your advice
I checked oil and everything and all ok.
Looks like the spark plug was loose.
Feel
A bit of a Wally
Thanks once again
