Design defect with Rineharts. Chirping drove me nuts. Bub refunded my purchase price. Too bad....liked the deep sound.

When you hear it, pull the ctutch in and coast, see if it goes away, might help point you in the right direction.

Sometimes, the rubber mounts get cooked from the heat, gets hard and sounds awful.

Two new mounts cost about four bucks.
