Ouiji Veck Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I have a sound like a leaf stuck in the ol' heater fan of a 64 Valiant comming from the right front of my motor...only under load so I can't pin it down while parked. I'm thinkin' exhaust gasket but it sounds pretty "fast" and there's no back firing etc. Plus no sign of it @ idel or reving while stopped. I'll give the valves a look tonight. Maybe I got a leaf stuck in there. Been away for a while...missed Pete I guess. It's one of those Tits, wheels and realestate things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ratchethack Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Jeez, I dunno how only tits, wheels and real estate coulda kept you away, Weej. I know that leaf-in-the-heater-fan noise well. I'd have thought an exhaust leak too. And since y'er Guzzi ain't got a heater fan, I'm at a loss here. But since you've been away, you might want to keep an eye open for a certain unidentified -- and allegedly very dangerous -- individual rumored to be skulking about the Forum recently. Y'see, it seems there's been unauthorized recommendations for marinating y'er entire Guzzi in RLSH in the case of unidentified noises. So if you should get a recommendation to remedy y'er weird noise by -- let's say something such as filling up the airbox with RLSH until it oozes out the tailpipes uncontrollably, like some foul rummy blaggard leaking Pepto-Bismol out the bung-hole, by all means don't hesitate. Just call the funny farm and have 'em send out the nutwagon immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi jon Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I'm fairly well into a bottle of nice spanish cab, but the leaf in a heater under load sounds a lot like pre-ignition (pinging). Are you using good gas, these bad boys can ping pretty easy if not properly setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouiji Veck Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 True confession time... Just a LEAF in my farring...well...a loose screw anyway. But it wa so loud! ( uh huh...I know...not the ONLY loose screw I have) I get worse a thousand miles from home. My buddy once told me "Ya know what I do when I hear that? I put my face shield down" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
