Mr. Hives from GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} X196 9.11.23. We have fitted 4.EX dynamo drive an Ormerod Belt. This entailed a lot of work as dismantling coupling, taking driving pulley off shaft as there is no room to pass an endless belt between reduction gear of starter motor and pulley. The vibrations have been cured by 50%. GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
