New Engine Noise?
From:

      I am in denial but I think I am in trouble.  I just turned over 345 trouble free
      hours on my 912ULS when I had a new noise last week.  Kind of a slight rattling
      noise that comes and goes.  Could not  find anything loose and the engine
      ran fine at all speeds.  Today I ran it without the cowl off and hear a definite
      but slight rattling,knocking sound at 2150 rpm on warm up.   It goes away at
      2000 and 2200 and on up.  I am still flying but since I don't like off airport
      landings,  I have to ask if anyone has any ideas. 
       ....Please say its OK...
      Oil usage is nill and has been changed on schedule since new.  Average fuel consumption
      is 3.7 and always non-ethanol 91 octane.
      
      
      The cost and loss of flying time is going to be grim.  I don't even know where
      to get it fixed if I have to.
      
      thanks in advance
      Rich L

      Hi Rich,
      
      Do you have any accessories on the engine ?- I had a similar experience w
      ith a vacuum pump making an odd noise.
      
      Also, not wanting to state the obvious there are a lot of things attached t
      o the engine that can just plain rattle.- Exhaust systems are great candi
      dates.
      
      Regards,- Paul
      Europa 914
