Default What is this sound?
If you listen to the video, you hear a constant "growling". When I click the start button I hear the fuel pump kick on then off like its supposed to. Its the growling I am concerned about. You do not hear the fuel pump in this video cause it was too large to upload.
Hopefully its long enough to hear the sound. Might have to turn the volume up.
