Title: Quick & easy belt alignment
Post by babbalou on 04/02/06 at 19:39:55

I noticed a raspy whine lately when coasting down to a stop & realized my belt was out of alignment. The adjuster bolts looked even. I got a yardstick & put it across the pulley, then got on my back & looked up at the belt to see if it was parallel to the yardstick. Almost, a little off. Made the adjustment & measured a few times until it was dead even with the yardstick. Belt is silent now.

I couldn't get a shot underneath 'cause the range was too short for my camera. [img]

I don't think that was it. I see a big box with a little red X. I'll read up & try later.
