Richardtr3a Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 My fan belt has a loose fit. If I press down on the top part the fan belt it moves 1 1/2" or possibly a little more.It is a bit awkward to get the tape in place accurately . I am hoping that this will avoid wear to the dynamo. But I am asking if this would affect the output and maybe the ammeter reading ? The ignition light goes off on starting and will show if the revs drop to low tick over. Any advice Richard & B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Is there a sound like screeching when the engine throttle is 'blipped'? That would be belt slip. If not it all seems to be fine. The low belt tension will help save the water pump bearings from excessive stress too. While you are in there.....Just be sure the dynamo pedestal that is fitted through the front engine plate and secured with a big nut is tight. They come loose and wear very badly.
