2 stroke ATV

[Ryoushi]

Hey, I have a 2 stroke air cooled ATV that runs really good however I'm concerned about the rattling of the engine. I understand that 2 strokes are suppose to rattle a bit however I consider this excessive. The carb is running a good mixture, the machine is not very old, it rattles at idle and in gear. It has good compression. I guess I'm wondering if I'm overreacting or if I should bring it in and have a mechanic listen to it.

We need more info.

What kind of machine?

manual clutch or auto clutch.

Any other info about the ATV would be of great help. It hard to tell on what little we know of the machine.

Well I took it apart and turns out the piston rings were shot and it the piston was slapping the cylinder. Took care of it before any major damage occurred.
