I am running a 1996 125 Carb on my Nitro 176 and I heard a short rattle when I got up to WOT on my way back to the ramp. When I heard the rattle I backed of the trottle, crusied at about 4,500 rpm for a few seconds, then throttled back up to WOT. The rattle came back. I got a bit nervous,:unsure: so I slowed and trimmed down. Rattle went away. I then made a large turn and put the hammer back down bringing the engine back up to WOT. Never heard the sound again. I ran back to the ramp at WOT for about 60 seconds and all seemed ok.
My prop is not loose, it spins with out wobble, and the sound seemed to be comming from unber the cowling. No rattle at low and mid range rpm.
Any thoughts on what that rattle may have been. Rev limitter?
Worried I might be loosing a cylindar!
