When im going full throttle, i hear a sound thats like the one you hear when you shake up a spray paint can its a loose metal sound, any ideas of what this could be? The plug is original i was told by the previous owner and the moped has close to 3K on it. Its an elite 50 btw. I just got a new plug so im gonna wait till i get my tools to school and do a plug chop.
Thanks,
Mark

It's your clutch. Mine is doing the same thing but I can't find the defective part to save my life.

haha well that doesn't sound too promising. Will replacing the clutch solve the problem all together or is it not that easy? any other negative things you noticed as a result of this noise? or is it just an annoying thing.

sounds like your front pulley weights are shot, trans pulley will chatter, worn clutch pads, clutch springs or center spring in that order.
