Just put my Speedy's engine back in, for novices (like myself in some/most areas) the clattering noise coming from the front of the engine was due to a loose flywheel obviously at the back! Initially I was caught out and took out the dynamo and found some (1/16th") end-float and thought it was the cause but sadly no, the engine had to come out. The cause was probably my failing to properly lap the flywheel onto the new phoenix crankshaft. The engine is now running sweetly and silently apart from throaty exhaust.
