Theres time when i can hear alittle miss. I ran it friday with 18 psi and ran
60'=2.499
330=6.475
1/8=9.72
mph=75.87
1000=12.493
1/4=14.80
mph=97.91
I know this is off topic but it was ran on 225-60-15s.It pulls hard and when idles fine it is fine. I just thought maybe somebody had the same thing happened to them.Thanks

Mine has done that once of twice in the past. It's so rare that I don't worry about it.

Check out the idle controller, I can't remember what it's called (IAC?).
