questions about a 96 900 n/a I am looking at. Posted by Steve G [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
I am new to your board and have some questions about a 1996 900s that I am going to go look at this weekend. The person that I spoke to over the phone says that it runs great except for a “ticking noise” that from reading your posts could be a stuck lifter or valve, the balance chain, or a purge valve. I don’t think that I will have a problem figuring out if it is a lifter or valve as tick will come from the head and get faster with rpms. If it is the balance chain, it should come from the back and be a bit more “chatter-like” right? If this is the problem, I have seen a few posts that indicate that the car can run without the chain. Is this true and what is involved in removing the chain? Last, if it is the purge valve the ticking should stay constant across rpms and is repairable by a $60 part right?
Thanks for the advice,
Steve
