Take it in and have them fix it under warranty. You paid for a machine without issues!

 

I'm just trying to find out if that noise is normal or not before taking anything in!

 

Thanks for your input! I should have mentioned, she starts on the 3rd or 4th pull - I turned the key off just so I could show the sound it makes without actually starting her up.

I know the wheezing is the starter rope. Can you hear a certain Mhmmmm noise on the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th times I pull in the video? It doesn't make the noise on the other pulls.

The fact it is intermittent seems odd to me

im not hearing any unusual mmmm sound, but my hearing is slightly diminished. Maybe a young buck with good ears can chime in?

 

I personally don't hear anything out of the ordinary so maybe everything is normal or the camera just can't pick up the sound.

 

Ok good to know at least. It's definitely making the noise in the video on the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th pulls so maybe just normal? thanks!

 

I played the video several times, and tried to clue on on pulls 2, 3 & 5 as best I could, but I didn't hear anything untoward. Yes, the sound of the pull rope is dominant, but you've already parsed that one out, so...

As long as the engine starts and runs to your satisfaction, maybe just adopt a Watch and Wait position for now.

 

My ‘24 (purchased Oct ‘23) Platinum 24SHO was starting (I have used it only a handful of times so far) on 3-4 pulls so this past weekend when I went to use it I methodically paid attention to what I was doing…key on, fuel valve open, fully choked position, and this time full throttle open, then pumped the primer bulb eight times. This time it started on the first pull.
I have not tried it again after that time but will be sure to try the same next time.
I am not a fan of the dual/stacked slippery knob control for throttle and slightly easier to use choke but back on my old Toros with a separate lever throttle I never started it in full open position.
As fas as the noises, I honestly cannot say either way that I have heard anything suspicious.

 

Thank you all! Appreciate it

 

I did get a better video of the noise. Only happens sometimes! Engine cooled and 5 min later no noise. So maybe they just vibrate sometimes? It's the humm/Burr at the end of me pulling the pull rope the farthest here.

I can hear it in this video. Do you know exactly where the sound comes from, for example, out of the muffler? If so, and this is just a stab in the dark, it might be airflow past the valves caused be the compression release. Probably not anything to be concerned about.
