Hows the timing? plug gap? could be an intake leak or carb adjustment.Hows the oil pump filter?

Sounds like a Dirty/gummed up carb, intake leak...Or possibly a plugged up exhaust.

[ronniecarrigg]

intake is busted on one side only one screw holding it on is this a major problem

Yea That would most likely be your intake leak problem. Replace it.

Start up and spray wd-40 around the broken side and see if engine noise changes. My bet is thats where your issue is


EDIT: Yeah what MTS said
