My series 400 makes noise sometimes but not all. I am using the Saginaw pump. This is the first I have heard that they may have a problem. I am at the nationals here in Tennessee so will try to find out more out from mid fifty or cpp. Does the Saginaw have any kind of filter?

A filter is absolutly recomended when using a 400 series box. To get a hold of possible shavings from manufacturing as soon as possible.
They are great little ps boxes but they are having problems with cleaning them out before assembly. But its only a box once and a while, witch make me belive they have some quality issue in the manufacturing steps.
I really dought MF or CCP would mention anything.
Despite that I know for a fact that this problem has been addressed to them from several customers.

Is it the box or the pump that is making noise?
