Rattle under load does sound like ignition timing is too advanced but that's an electronic ignition motor, right? Is there any adjustment that may have been set wrong? maybe a stator plate not in the right place? If the cam chain is a tooth out, then the rattle could be valves and the piston having a too close relationship.... Not a good thing for a motor.

Regards
