Hi all. I have a ‘64 CA95. Never really had any issues with it. At the end of last season the clutch was slipping so I left it with my local Honda dealer to replace the clutch. They also rebuilt the carb. They finished it a couple of months ago and it’s been sitting in my garage since. Today I took it out for the first ride of the season. Was running great for about 5 minutes, then I started to hear some noise from the engine (loud tapping), and it shut down. I was able to get it fired up again, but the noise was still there so I let it sit for a while. It then started right up and was fine for another 5 minutes before the engine starting making noise again. I was able to get it home without stalling (maybe 2 miles), but it felt like it didn’t have normal power. I am thinking that the oil pump is starting to go bad. Does that sound right? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

It might be helpful to take a video of it and post it here (you'd have to host it somewhere like YouTube or Google Photos, then link it here)
