Took her for a ride today - 1st drive since taking her out of storage - noticed a fairly loud knock when I got home when in neutral. Noise seems to go away when you engage the clutch in gear - but not in neutral. 1st time I have heard this noise - wondering if it might be the fly wheel that is causing the racket? Suggestions would be appreciated.

Pull the spark plug wires one by one and see if the sound of the engine idle does NOT change.
Stock fuel injectors?
