FS got it.... 9V cranking is a sign of a bad or discharged battery.  Charge it up and recheck the voltages, if it still drops to 9V, the battery is toast. With a good battery, you probably won't get any wierd noises...

well let me explain that a little better. I mean it cranks, slowly..... which is prolly a deadish battery cause its new. But the noise is coming from the crank case...... that really be a low battery doing that?

well right now the carbs arent apart of this, I dont even have the tank on yet, im still finishing up some other parts. i was just testing to make sure i got all connections hooked up right when it didnt crank the first time. But it cranks now. But im not trying to start it just yet, just making sure i have everything hooked up before i move to the next step :good2:
