I took my blaster out for the first time this weekend. It was running pretty good but had a couple of weird things happen. Most I will probably ignore for now, but after getting it a bit wet I am hearing some bad noises.
When idling it sounds ok except every maybe 30-45 seconds there will be a fairly loud popping sound. Also there looks to be exhaust gas coming out from between the cylinder and the cylinder head.
When I give it gas and ride around in 2nd or 3rd gear it sounds ok except if I give it ~50% or more throttle. At that point it sounds almost like a piece of plastic slapping against another piece of plastic ... really fast.
I have absolutely no idea what is causing this, can anyone help here?
Here you can see a bit of wetness between the head and the cylindar:
