| hmmm, sounds like the grinding sound could be a loose pinion on the motor shaft, does the pinoin have a set screw on it, either way some loctite on the pinion will help that problem, as for the belt tensioning, loosen the 4 screws in the frame where the boom attaches, move the boom accordingly to your needs, not too tight or loose, the belt has been prone to slipping off the guide bearings, proper tension should keep in place, 3 alternatives for this is placing a small nylon block underneath the belt aft of the guide bearings, use some CA to hold it in, or getting another set of bearings and adding it to the existing ones, and or upgrading to the 43t pulley system by xtreme, hope this helps you out |
