Appears to be a terminology issue, and think your clack would be my tap. If it is a rocker coming loos or lifter collapsing then for each cylinder you loosing more power. A compression and leak down test will give you the health of the motor.

Now if the clacking is a pinging from the motor running lean then maybe fuel pressure, Carb should have 3 to 7 psi
