could be...rods usually make the most noise at idle or after revving on the way back down. not always, but usually

thanks, for the reply. that could be it. I will try pulling the plug wires one at a time. to find the one it is. it just don't make sense, almost a new motor. and it's gone bad. and the last motor i had was a rebuilt 20 year old johnson, and i ran it 7 years trouble free.
