any one having problems with engine clatter on cold startuo

no, and i don't recall seeing any other threads on it either. how many miles? how long have you owned her? when did it start?

 

I know it's an old post, but to answer the question, yes it's normal. On cold mornings I've had a rough start-up and it goes away after the engine is warmed up.

 

still might be helpful to him, at least he's not alone.

 

With this type of issue it's often worth looking into exactly what type of engine oil you're using. Sometimes changing the brand/type of oil will ease the problem.
