Can you ID this sound?
I am getting a popping/clicking noise when the the engine turns over. I thought it was a timing issue and the noise i was hearing was a spark plug firing when the valves were open. however earlier today i disconnected the plug wires and the noise is still present. i took a video which is linked below.

It's definitely not a good idea leaving it off as it will bog in higher gears on hwy etc. But some ppl are too broke to get a replacement so they leave it off. But yes, I'd test it first and go from there. If it's a daily rider, gravity feed it until your replacement comes.
Btw Wilson...I like that you video linked us so we don't have to play the guessing game

yea videos r a ton of help. and i tried the gravity feed once also and didnt like it. i ment i agree on the fuel pump being the cause. and just assume to check the pump contacts before anything. and to do the contact swtich is even cheaper than a used pump.its roughly 30 $. my buddy bought a used pump off of ebay and it came with bad contacts. he wasnt too thrilled
