So, did the 'noise' stop once the eng. was running? What 'kind' of 'noise'? Etc. You didn't give enough info. to make an educated guess.

It sounds like it was just from sitting. I get mine out every weekend and does the same thing. Mine always makes this loud, throaty sound out the exhaust right as it fires. Sounds kinda cool actually. It doesn't make that sound after I re-fire it later in the day.

And the "starts to move" is 'normal' too--mine does it.
