Just got a replacment from forge - these guys seem good replacemnt was on the door step next morning, This one seems to be working but does not seem to sound all the time, after about 3000 revs when going for it it will blow off with out fail but when Im round town it seems reluctent to blow, Some times even over 3000 revs, I am running it on the yellow spring, If I sit stationnairy and rev the engine it does not make any noice regardless of revs - should I return the dam thing and get my money back, forge say its a option
