Thats a normal noise, dont worry about it.

Exactly what fault have you got and what have you tried to repair? Whats sticking?

ok well i guess thats good the noise isnt a problem it seems like its having trouble turning over and ive made sure the battery is fully charged it feels like maybe there is a spot it sticks sometimes before i would have to rotate it manually before it was starting turning on its own

It could be a battery problem which hasnt got enough power to get over the compression spot of the engine.

Also a bad connection on the starting system of the electrics.

It may even be valve clearances.

Battery is fully charged and it checks at 12 v. How would I check valve? I'm pretty sure it's not an electrical problem. But I could be wrong

I can send you a Service manual for your engine IF you like which will tell you what you need to know for this problem and future ones. Address below, put in proper format and remind me engine model number and what you want.
