"I have a 2005 w/ approx. 30 h
"I have a 2005 w/ approx. 30 hours of use. Has a knock at anything above idle. Motor shakes and hesitates or dies after about 2 minutes of running. Bought the motor for practically nothing off of Craigslist knowing there was something wrong w/ it any ideas as to where to look? Compression feels great when pull started, plugs are clean, removed pull start cover and same noise continues, noticed scrathes on the magnets on the underside of the flywheel not sure what made them. Are the sensors on this motor for knock? I have an older 86' honda 7.5 that has performed flawlessly so I know how this motor should run. Thanks, Thad"
