My '97 rattles at startup also. I've been wanting to replace the chain and everything on it for a while now, but I just don't have the time. But mine has rattled on startup ever since I bought it (March of '03). It hasn't gotten any worse since then, though. I've heard a lot of sources say that the noise is normal, and a few saying that the guide falls off.
Either way, I intend on doing the chain sooner or later. If it turns out to be OK in the first place, I'll do it anyway, because you have to break all that crap down anyway, hah.
