Greetings all
03 15 HP 4 stroke. When the engine first start it make a knocking noise and then shuts up for as long as it's running. I suspect it makes the knocking noise until the rods get oil pressure. It ran all season last year but I fear it's a worn connecting rod. The parts break down I've seen show no inserts.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?
Thanks
