Detonation?
At the sand dunes (Gordon Wells), I get a noise, that sounds like pinging/rattling noise at 1/4-1/2 throttle just as it transitions into the power band. Happens both in deep sand, and on the harder flats. Any thoughts? Is this detonation, or is this awful sound typical and O.K.?
I am running PWK bored to 40 mm. DGL middle clip.

Yes, and its not ok. Increase octane as instructed, or you can raise the needle to let more fuel in at part throttle and see if that helps.maddog1927 wrote: Is this detonation.
You have to stop it, or damage will occur.

AV gas sucks...... Raise the needle tell it stops pinging. If you run out of slots go to DGK needle.
