i get a one metalic tock (i'm guessing that classed as a ping) on start up sometimes and thats its only when she just fires up. i think it's a little strange and would like to know if anyone else has had the same sort of thing and what is it? is it a problem?

she only does it on start up other then that quiet as a mouse when running.

cheers in advance.
Fiji.

yeah probably need to back the timing off a degree or 2,,, or maybe some fresh clean Premium fuel (or both)

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Could it be your fan just catching your cowling??

Or maybe the big end bolts are loose !!! You better strip the engine and check before it blows apart.
