    Flex XFE7-15 spark???

    Alright here's the story, we recently bought it from AG. Just got it hours ago, we were so excited and run through a car with speed 5. Then we start to realise theres a spark in the vent near the handle whenever we pull the throttle/trigger...

    As you could see there's a small red coloured light in the picture..I'm so worry now..i hope the machine is ok..
