If it was a pre ignition problem wouldn't it make a noise on both cylinders?
Besides, "clack, clack, clack" don't sound like pinking to me.
Hope I'm wrong.

The 700 kept on running fine with a couple less degrees of |
timing. Then I rode it down to sea level one summer and the detonation |
gawdawful because the higher air density caused the mixture to be a tad leaner than it had been at 3000 feet. Rather than re-tune the engine for |
altitude, I found enough aviation gas to get me back into the hills. |
it made nasty noises just like you describe. I couldn't put any load on |
engine until the aviation gas went in. It could be you have a not-so-great batch of fuel. But, if the engine is |
sensitive to fuel quality then look for some reason that it could be |
lean or running with too much spark advance. Lean-ness could come from a previous owner re-jetting the carbs to live in, say, Colorado. Too much advance could come from the static setting being wrong, or weak mechanical advance springs in the distributor would let it get too far advanced for |
of the engine. And, of course the points hafta be gapped right for the |
to be what you think you set it at. BobG
