Get the cover off & check all rotor bolts - back of it where the starter roller gear stuff is :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

Did you remove the stator wire holding clip?
If so did it go back in with the bottom end of it tucked behind the two little cast bosses on the casing?
If not it will rub the outside of the stator and make a rubbing or tinkling sound.
You'll see it if you take it off again as it will have a shiny mark on the rotor's outer casing.
