Rod Knock

Hello. I would like to get your opinion on this. Can you hear any rod knock in this?

it is a 10.5 HP Tecumseh Snow King.

Sounds like carbon build up on top of the head. Two ways to fix this. They make a top engine cleaner which you pour through carburetor or remove the head and clean out the carbon.

Sounds like a typical snow king to me. Honest. The noise they make is the valves I have been told. I always thought it was that plus all the vibration from the shaky old snowking. Mine will shake so bad running full throttle the snowblower begins to twist back and forth a bit. The chute handle is swinging, the chute is bonking back and forth, the handles are buzzing, the cables are flapping, some of the pins and bolts are turning. It is amazing to me the darn things work so well and so long.
