Default Re: supercharger clutch noise

If the noise occures after your driving and the gas is applied, the clutch appears to have too little tension.

I set mine up with a 0.010 feeler gauge between the pulley and magnetic assembly. WITH THE MOTOR OFF, slip the feeler gauge in-between and rotate the rear hub that has the black ring on it. This is the impeller drive and you will see the center of the v belt hum rotate. There should be no drag on the feeler and not much play. I forget the distance in mm but one mm. is like 0.040"

BTW I got my pillar pod, it looks great and the packing was about the best I have seen this side of the Smithsonian Institute. IT arrived in good shape and Iam working on texture already to get the two sides to look correctly. Thanks again, Ill do a write up when I get to the camera.

Woody. ENJOY
