Recently i have had an occasional knock. It can run for a long time and once in a while a short time runs fine and suddenly it develops a knock. I always shut it off and start it up later to try to find the issue and it sounds fine again. Changed oil (shell rotella T6 synthetic and NH filter)and same problem. It does not matter if weather is hot or cold. Today I pushed snow and didn't hear any issues. When I was getting ready to shut it down I backed the throttle down and it started knocking. I speeded it up and it went away. I slowed it back down to idle again and this time it purred just fine. My friend thought it might be a lifter sticking and suggested I put fuel conditioner in.
WHAT SAY OUR EXPERTS HERE??
Thanks for any help
