alright i was driving my stanger today and i noticed a ticking noise every time i let up off the throttle...when i push on the throttle i dont hear the noise, but it might be b/c of the exhaust...and i was just testing w/ it and if i barely press on the throttle it will make a quick ticking noise and when i let off it will still tick but it will tick slower and slower as it slows down...my buddy said i was probably just running low on oil so i put a quart in like 10 mins ago...hopefully im just running low on oil and by tomorrow it will be gone...but if not...does anybody have any input on this?!
 
Sounds like an exhaust leak. When you let off the gas you are decreasing the pressure of the exhaust and it's going to leak out easier, thus ticking when you are coasting. That would be the first thing I would look into. It's probably something as simple as bolt that has backed off some.

You did check the oil level before you put another quart in it right?
