Bongo Fury

2L petrol (new shape) developed a bit of a ticking when engine running.
Anyone any ideas?
Cheers.

Check the reset button on the tripmeter has been pushed in properly, wouldn't be the first time

done that one myself .
check the fan belts,you may have a fraying belt.
or some petrols (not usually bongos) tick from the exhaust manifold when the gasket is put- putting,leaking. check around this with soapy water,and look for bubbles.
or the diesels tick on the fuel filter because of the internal valve/flap if its a gen filter,this may apply to petrols to.worth a check though.

It could be something as simple as a loose plug or lead for that fact

Yep !!! a plug lead shorting to earth would "tick" I would also expect you to notice a "misfire" if that was the case......But well worth checking the leads......have a look in the dark and you may see a "spark"

could be many things...... can't really give an idea without hearing it......

Overdue oil and filter change has sorted it!!
