So in the middle of Wife Appeasement 3.0 I was granted a couple of hours to attend to the buggy today. I haven't touched it since Fredricksburg, in fact it still has the water spots from unloading it in the rain.
Anyway, I got the breather box installed so it will hopefully stop puking oil out of every orifice, and I got the fuel pressure regulator on so hopefully it will stop stalling out on me.
I got it fired back up and it was rattling something awful. It sounded like the fan again. So I pulled the fan belt off and its not the fan, its the alternator pulley. It rattles back and forth a good bit, not front to back but around in a circle.
I pulled the pulley off, the keyway does not appear wallowed out on either the pulley or the shaft, but the key barely stands out much from the semi circle in the shaft. I am using the key that came with the alternator, I pulled the old key out of my generator, it is the same size.
The pulley is an aluminum MST serpentine system.
Any ideas?
