The noise actually doesnt sound like a problem, but at times it POPS kinda loud and quick upon starting in the morning. It happens other times too but mostly in the morning.

It sounds like a conventional starter not releasing asap. The sound happens right at starting and only POPS loudly once.

Its not the motor, the sound is coming from the starting system.

Anyone else heard this? Mine has been doing it forever it seems, just wanted to be sure I am not alone on this one.

Thanks
Tony
