    Hi,
    Clunks are rarely a good thing to hear. Suggest that you open the hood and physically try to turn the engine over in both directions. I could easily be wrong, and I hope I am, but "clunks" are most often thrown rods.
    Peace,
    Clarke

    If you are lucky the cylinder is full of gas from the carb leaking through. If you can not turn the engine over by hand try removing the spark plug/s and try to turn it over again by hand. Let us know what happens.
