I recently purchased a 1999 Vstar that I was told needed a carb rebuild to get it running. I did the rebuild and gas squirto out of the top jets into the air breather. I have gotten it running but it has a scary knock in the top end of the rear cylinder . It is a steady constant knock that seems to remain steady with acceleration. Is there a way to determine if this is a rod? Should I just kill some time and rUn it to a mechanic for a opinion? I know my way fairly well and bought it to build myself , but the noise has me hesitant to continue without opinion.
