Make sure you put locktite on them!

I can't locate from where it's coming from. A squeek probably generated by the engine vibrations and plastic plating rubbing against each other.
Another thing is the EVO has hopelessly complex tubing!
It has like tens of tubes, difficult to see which is fuel and which is vacuum hose; but the vacuum hoses make up for 75% of the tubing (lots of T-splitter pieces in there!), and going everywhere, from the carb to the air filter, to the cvt etc....

The EVO looks very nice, but if I have the choice again, I'd probably go for the much sleeker PowerMax, which IMHO does better on gas mileage, and performance in general.
My squeek was from the exhaust bracket bolts working loose. Also I liked the look of the EVO ATM150-A Front end /headlight area better than the others which is why I bought it Also the 13 inch wheels gave better clearance than the smalller ones on the Powermax. EVO goes over speed humps without dragging
