panoma1 Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Just take it back to where you purchased it! Get them to sort it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I have one no probs. When its sorted get used to running it at max rev's that's the way it wants to work. Only rattle i get is when i put it in suck and try to suck up a stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
