It's probably nothing. Those are a noisy little engine. If it doesn't start hammering when it's lugging, doesn't burn oil andit starts quick when it's cold... it's probably fine.

They hammer pretty good on acceleration... something they can't really help with close to an inch more bore than some of their competitors.
