When I start the engine from cold there is a very short screeching noise right when it fires up. It doesn't happen when the engine has reached operating temperature. Does anybody else have this on a Griff 500. Should I be concerned or is it the usual "they all do that Sir"? Thanks for your feedback! Andy

Thanks for all the tips! Maybe I did not explain it very well, the noise happens only at cold startup and lasts a few tenths of a second. After that everything is perfect. Nothing serious really, I was just wondering if other Griffs/Chims had it too.
