Why does the engine knock or rattle? (4 stroke)

Why does the engine knock or rattle? (4 stroke)

Usually, the primary cause for this is that the engine is low on oil.

1
Check the oil dipstick, and fill to the full mark, being careful not to overfill. Refer to operators manual for details.

2
Check all of the loose components (i.e. muffler, carburetor, flywheel screen, spark plug and wires, crankshaft pulleys, etc.) and tighten if needed.

Abnormal knocking sounds can be a sign of engine trouble. A knocking engine needs service attention as soon as possible. Contact your local authorized service center for expert assistance in resolving this issue.
