Won’t start

Well I'm glad I spoke up then.

My wife says that sometimes I'm aplick, in what I say. But that racket I heard was definitely rocker gear. Hope you caught it early enough.
Me too it’s what made me make sure I looked at the gauge. Thank you! I’m just wondering how the gas got in there. Current theory is the mechanical fuel pump gave way but haven’t had a chance to replace it. Also have my ac barker bolt hitting my new thermostat housing so that could be a little bit of the noise but probably not.
