nasty rattle/banging

[mikej83]

hey guys, i've got an 87 b2, and yesterday i ran out of gas. so i got more, but it was hard starting. i finally got it started, but i have this insane rattle/banging that goes away at about 2000-2500 rpm. still runs and drives fine, just this rattle. keeps doing it whether i have the clutch in or not. went underneath, starter is tight, sound seems to be coming from the bellhousing, but like i said, no problems with drivability. im gonna yank the starter, see what i can see, just wondering if anyone has any ideas. thanks
