Re: strange metal noise coming from area around dizzy cap ar

It's not a scrapping. It just sounds like a typical loose bracket. Took the dizzy cap off and the arm the belt doesn't look bad. I think it's this black plate that's behind the dizzy cap that's where the noise I have heard is coming from and moving it around it's making the same noise
