Satoh s650G needs expert engine advice/Guess?

[Boo McAfee]

Hey Guys, my s650g has an engine knock at 1800rpm that makes her sound like a diesel.....Would you guys please take the time to check out this video of sound and visual and tell me what you feel this knock is? We feel it's either a rod bearing or wrist pin, but really would like your input See:

Any luck yet finding the noise Boo ? I listened to the vid again but still can't hear anything that sounds like it's in the lower end, but that's just hearing it thru the speakers in the laptop so not sure if I'm hearing everything.
Good luck

hard to tell exactly what the knock is. have you disconnected the fan belt when you taped this?
