Hi, I took the 90 out this morning for her first good run, and i have got a rattle/vibration when i power off to slow down (not braking related ) I am away to check the props and make sure they are greased up ok and i will check the oil levels in the axles and gear box, anyone else come across this and might have any suggestions?
and before anyone says it I cant turn the radio up as its not fitted yet LOL
cheeers

Internal exaust baffles loose,thump it with your fist when cold and see if it rattels.

I think I might have found the source of the rattle,
when i was underneath to grease the props I noticed that the rear prop is made up wrong, instead of the yokes being inline, the are 90 degrees out, so I think someone has had it apart to repair it at some time I will tell you if it cures it tomorrow if i get a chance to change it

that would give vibration its surprising how often it occurs even with people that should know better like alot of garages

I think it was the garage that must have done a prop repair as the previous owner didnt have a scooby like that,
