New Honda cb550f in the family but... Engine rattle!!
Trigger:
If the bike has not been used since 1994, it is still worth checking the oil is getting to the top end and the clutch plates are free before you blow the top end. No mechanic will check this on a service unless instructed.

Trigger I meant the bike has only done about 100 miles per year from 1994 so it has been used very little but even though the owner has services the bike every year prior MOT's
I will ask my mechanic if he has checked if the oil is getting to the top end :) thanks for the tips!

Just came back from my first proper ride! It is so nice outside!!
So I've noticed that I need to ride with the choke on otherwise it will just stop, so idling needs adjusting, Also when pulling the throttle it chokes at the beginning a little bit then It pulls nicely.
After an hour riding it I came back home and the noise was gone, then I put the choke off and it started doing it again... And the bike stopped.
What are your thoughts,? I think it is all about carburation?

certainly sounds like carbs,
but also check timing ,is it getting fully advanced ??
also,what colour are the plugs?
