Default Rattling sounds from engine while idling

Hi all,

I've been having a rattling sound coming from my engine for a while now. It only happens sometimes when it's idling.

Here's a video of it:
-- it's the awful metal-on-metal rattle.

It appears to be directly related to that lift handle that you can see start and stop vibrating; if I hold it still, it stops.

Any ideas on what to check, tighten, or fix to make that rattle go away would be great! Also, and insight as to whether that's a symptom of a minor or major issue, of if it's likely to *cause* a minor or major issue would be great.

Thanks!
