My 550 was ticking out of the right exhaust (4 into 2). I made a stethoscope by putting a punch in one end of some tubing, and the other end in my ear, I listened all around the top end to find where the ticking was coming from. Nothing! However after I synced the carbs and worked on the air/fuel, it went away.
