    My Radian engined 550 has alwatys been clattery at tickover but now more so, althogh it quitens quite a lot when I pull the clutch lever in.

    I'm planning to top up oil to max as I recall BigFitz saying this helps and checking the clutch spring bolt torques - anything else to consider?

    Dowel is interesting. I didn't know that. Does it wear to oval? or ever 'let go' completely??

    I see that dowel locates teh starter gear so if it does 'let go' it will be fairly obvious..
