well, I checked everything external on the bike and couldn't find anything rattling, so I pulled the carb and reed cage to take a look at the intake side of the piston. It looked great! So I got my wife out in the garage to see if she could hear the noise (which I should have done in the 1st place since it's her bike and I probably haven't ridden it in 6 months before the rebuild) and she says nothing sounds different other than the bike has a "gruntier" sound to it. I still think I hear something rattling when the bike revs and then as the revs begin to go back down? I'm just going to let her ride it and check the piston from the exhaust and reed cage periodically. Also, the plug is a nice mocha color after doing a few WOT runs across the hayfield. I just hope it's not the crank bearing going out...it didn't have and up and down play when I checked it during the rebuild. Thanks to everyone for their help...keep your fingers crossed for me!
