    Exclamation VN Wont start

    hey all

    i drove to the shops, turned car off then jumped back in and it started sweet.. started to
    drive off and was sweet, then went to take off from the exit n as i gave it a bit of gas it felt like nothing there, no power or anything
    n sorta sounds like to much air or something :S if i gave to much throttle it would drop revs n sorta of conk out. Then loud tapping noises from the
    engine started and yer hasn't turned over since, when i try to turn it over get loud clunking noises like timings out.

    im sort of thinkin a bearing but dad sorta thinks not :S

    any one had this sort of problem before ?

    dose not sond good. check oil, water make sure they are ok. A loud tapping noise would often means oil pressuer problem or bearing
