    Yeah, someone's runnin' lean... or sits in a lot of stop and go traffic.
    Lawn looks nice, too.

      If it is the jetting and not the stop and go traffic thing you will likely find the cam chain making less noise when the engine is running cooler. Heat makes things expand and the cam chain will be looser if the top end is running HOT.
