Thanks! You nailed it! I had been doing the stethoscope thing at random times not particularly doing it at startup. After searching further under smog pump, I tried listening right after startup. Sure enough the noise was there and after a minute or so, the pump clicked off and away went the noise.

Now the trick is to see if I can rebuild it with minimum $$.

Thanks,
