Most HSR carburetors make a soft "ticking" noise at idle. This ticking is the result of the normal pulsing of the air in the intake system. This pulsing is caused by piston and cam action. The ticking is not a sign of wear or incorrect tolerances.

When I press the gas pedal I hear a clicking noise?
With the engine, the tapping noise is either lack of oil lubrication in the top of the motor (or loose valve train hardware like lifters) or due to engine knocking (small misfires). In the axle area, this type of noise can be caused by damaged CV joints, or even a brake rotor that is warped.
What causes a clicking sound in your engine?
The most common cause of engine ticking noise is low oil pressure. ... Your engine may be low on oil or there could be a problem inside the engine causing the low oil pressure. Ticking, tapping, or clicking sounds can also be symptoms of worn valve train components such as lifters or cam followers.
What is the clicking sound when I accelerate?
A ticking noise when accelerating can be caused by many things. It is important to find the root of the problem as there is a risk that the engine will be damaged, making the repair bill greater than it would have been originally. In most cases, the cause is oil pressure, exhaust leaks, spark plugs, or the valvetrain.
Will a bad injector cause a ticking noise?
It's obvious that bad fuel injector cause a ticking noise. Not only bad fuel injector, good one can also cause a ticking noise.
Can bad gas cause ticking?
An exhaust manifold leak is the cause of engine ticking at idle and acceleration. It happens when exhaust gases leak at high pressure from a leak in the gasket or a rupture in the manifold. ... But, fix it as soon as possible because excessive leaking of exhaust gases won't be good for the engine.
Why is my car ticking when I start it?
Sometimes an engine will tick when it's first starting due to a lack of lubrication on top of the motor. The ticking sound is commonly caused by opening and closing valves or rocking arms. This could mean the car is low on oil or there is a problem with the oil delivery system that needs to be repaired.
What does an engine tick sound like?
It should sound like a sharp pencil tapping on a desk and be very rhythmic. Injectors ticking are not a problem and you can drive with confidence. Another tick could be from an exhaust manifold leak.
Why is my car making a weird noise when I accelerate?
Loud squeaking or squealing noise while accelerating could mean there's a problem with your engine belt. It could mean the belt's loose or worn. Or it could mean that one of the belt's pulleys is starting to fail. Loud rumbling noise when accelerating might suggest there's a problem with your exhaust system.
Why is my car clicking without key?
A rapid clicking noise when trying to start your car could mean there's something wrong within the electrical system. Perhaps your battery's dead, or your alternator, which charges the battery, isn't working correctly. ... You may need to replace your alternator or battery.
Will a misfire cause a ticking noise?
A failing coil will generally not make a ticking sound, however a failing or intermittent coil may cause the motor to run sluggish a bit if the misfire continues to happen. ... When this happens, the ticking sound you may be hearing could be valve train parts touching metal on metal as a result of lack of oil lubrication.
What is a lifter tick?
A phenomenon can occur called lifter tick, where the lifter itself makes an irritating ticking or tapping noise. Depending on the severity of the problem, you may hear an occasional tick or the lifters will constantly tick the whole time you run your car.
Why is my car clicking while idling?
The engine could be ticking due to a low engine oil level
Most of the time, the ticking noise that you hear will be present when the car is either idling or upon acceleration. ... More specifically, check to see if the oil level is low.
Will low oil make engine tick?
Low Engine Oil
A low oil level can prevent the valvetrain components from getting proper lubrication, resulting in a tapping or ticking noise coming from the engine.
