I used to get a tapping sound from the manifold on my ST170 now and again when I owned a one.

I had one the management light came on it was a little valve controlled by a cable that when you reach 5500 revs it flicks open to give you a bit more power mine worked ok but wasnt closing as quickly as it should didnt bother repairing it as it was 350 job and didnt matter that much could b that
