Remove one of the two wires on the starter switch on the carb and see if the problem goes away. I am guessing your starter is engaging.

If that solves the problem, remove the starter switch housing from the carb. Pull out the actuating plunger from the carb body and turn it so the notch is UP. Replace and drive happily off into the sunset.

There is nothing in the convertor or its housing to make such a noise as you describe.
