Hi,

Can anyone tell me if the sound in the attached video clip is normal.

It's my brand new DLE-20RA which i started for the first time today. The engine has less than 2 minutes run time.

The first start was by hand and was just as you'd expect. A few turns to get fuel into the carb and then away she went. It ran for about a minute at 3,500 - 4,000rpm before i shut it down.

I couldn't get it to start by hand for the second run and it took a few cranks with the electric starter to get it running. I ran it for less than a minute due to neighborly considerations.

After those 2 short runs I noticed this play and clicking noise when rocking the prop.

It's my first DLE so i'm not sure if this is normal.
