When running the exhaust smells like fule. There’s an ocasional tic-tic-tic at cold start for a few seconds (gonna do the chain and guide rail swap this year). The only other issue I’m having is when at a dead stop I turn the wheel and if the ground isn’t slippery my rpm take a dive. Like 500rpm. This has never killed it, but i changed the pump, filter and replaced fluid with CHF11s so I figure something else is lugging down the engine.
