It's here at last ;) I bought it without seeing it
But really happy overall ,a bit of wear and tear
But nothing I can't sort , yes it's very quick
but do get some jerking on pickup sometimes
I'm still working out the gear box and its habits
I am loosing power after a blast so pump needed .
 
After a blast, try tapping the right gear shift button four times in quick succession. It should make gear changes more gentle, as it resets the 'box.

Also, in anticipation of the need for a lower gear, press and hold the left (downshift) button. If you tap it, it only goes down one gear. Holding it will select the optimum gear.

I read this somewhere, and it works for mine.

Plenty of threads about IC pumps - seems the best, easiest and cheapest first upgrade. But I get the feeling you know that ;)

Congrats, by the way!
 
Yeah... Change the IC pump then you can do some more blasting hehe :D
 
Enjoy!
 
Mine had some jerking when I first got it, a reset helped a little. Wasnt until I had a gearbox serviced at MSL did it become totally smooth (well smooth as it should be).

Also had severe power loss after a few runs, new Johnson pump sorted out that issue and havent had an issue since.

You might want to check when the plugs were last changed or check their condition. Its an often overlooked part of the service schedule as its fairly expensive.
