A dose of sea foam has helped in those cases.
been running nothing but 93 in her since day 1 which was 500 miles ago 3500 on the clock before that....I have a fresh set of plugs and some gas treatment after theoil change

Just change the filter and add a bit of oil, I thought I had posted a sound bite of my racket. It sounded like yours except a wee bit louder. I'm just hoping that I don't have metal in my next change here soon...
