ticking sound???

[Frosty]

Check all bolts are tight, perhaps there's an exhaust leak that's small enough to be a tick before it goes tock and helicoil time. -----Original Message----- From: astoriagreek [mailto:astoriagreek@...] Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 9:04 PM To: DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com Subject: [DSN_klr650] Re: Ticking sound??? hello I dont think it is related to the spark plug and wire. I just finished checking it and everything seems ok. i dont see any spark. and the wire and plug are securly attached. It seems that your theory should be right, because it sounds like the ticking noise is coming directly from under the gas tank. Any other suggestions i can apply? thanks for the help
