Breaking Fan Belts

[Bob Carriere]

Only John can tell us if it was a similar pain can....empty sic!!!

...by chance you were not driving with the new engine muff to try it out?????

Now for Pete's sake ease off on the throttle... first you busted axles trying to do wheelies.... now racing against modern semis..
tsk tsk tsk.....

Read all the diagnostics but nothing really makes sense unless something went wrong all of a sudden..... I would have suspected a partly seized bearing.... preferrably in the pump.... maybe after cooling off... less expansion... frees up again.

One long shot would be for the crank pulley to suddenly move on the shaft.... bringing instant missalignment......maybe crazy but on my 261 it is held only by friction and key...... sounds like something intermittent.... how can it suddenly chew up two belts when it ran fine for years before?????


Since you checked the Genny so thoroughly, I would change the pump...... don't forget to try a straight edge from pulley to pulley..... the eye can be fooling you......

Let us know how you make out....
