    2002 SX200 TXRA OX66 200 Hp

    Hello all and happy memorial weekend. I have a question for y'all. My motor which i bought brand new back in 2002 has a ticking noises at low speeds. It has been maintained through out the years. I have about 230 hours on it. But the past 3 months i have noticed a ticking noise when traveling at low speeds and idling. It doesn't always do it, but its starting to. It runs fine and i have never had any issues with it. Water pump and plugs are changed every 2 years. 2 years ago i even cleaned the poppet valve. Starts right up, idles fine. Is this something i should be concerned with?? Has anybody ever had any dealings with this??

    Thanks for all and any help

    A lot of these motors will emit a rattling noise from the lower unit when running a stainless prop at idle speed in gear.

      If noise goes away when give a little throttle probably is prop chatter. Could be time to remove and clean O2 sensor and draw tube.

        Excellant i can deal with prop chatter... I will keep an eye on it and see what comes of it. I cleaned my o2 sensor the same time i cleaned my poppet value. Thank you.

          did you remove the holder and draw tube and inspect the tube?
          was either end of the tube shiney?

            What does the shiney tube end mean?
