Default Backdraft

Purchaser a Backdraft Cobra several weeks ago. After just 220 miles, here a few issues that have come up so far:

1. Engine experiencing severe "dieseling" / run on when engine shuts down. Entire engine rattles VIOLENTLY making a loud banging sound.

2. Startup is getting more and more difficult to initiate and keep a stable idle...after as many as three attempts and engine shuts down .Since it is a carbureted vehicle, when cold, I have followed the recommended procedure of pumping the gas 3-4 times before staring, as I was told. This is still an issue

3. Vibration continues at both screen deflectors once car is in motion. I have tightened both connecting screws. But situation continues. When wind screen is folded slightly either way , you can see the screws do NOT fit correctly and come out of placement area.....extremely annoying

4. Rattling also areas to be coming from the side exhaust pipes.....hard to tell when driving

4. First time windshield wipers turned on , wipers ceased to work

5. Orange light comes on all the time. I was under the impression that the switch next to it was to turn on auxiliary fan to provide additional cooling. Why does the light come on when the ambient temperature outside is mid 50 degrees Fahrenheit?

6. Red & .Blue wires from bottom of engine block to front fan appear to have a ground clearance that is dangerously low

7. Fuel gauge is shill showing erratic levels of petrol. Gauge appears to be not operating as it should

8. Braking not progressive; need to press brake pedal ALL THE WAY DOWN to initiate stopping vehicle

9. Seat adjustment is stuck; will not move forward or backward

10. Parking brake weak at best
