IMHO you have missed nothing, quite a normal noise on a new build. Just some bedding in, should be much reduced after 200 Mls and gone after 500. (don't forget tho change the gear oil @ 500).djh66 wrote:OK, examined the chain, all ok, examined the clutch, seemed ok, checked gear box endplate all seemed in order. Rebuilt it using Teflon type chain guides and adjusted to about 6 - 10mm play, started her up and still have a whirring noise, however I does disappear when I put it in gear, so what have I missed
Quite why a component that's sole purpose is to apply the correct ammount of , dare I say it? 'tension' to a chain to achieve the requisite 'tension' (oops did it again) to ensure it runs evenly without whip,stepping or binding is called a guide is beyond me. The component 'tensions' (yellow card) the chain and ensures it aligns with where it needs to go. The tensioner (red) does not guide the chain, the tensioner (2 weeks suspension without pay) tensions (starting position removed) the chain so that it can guide it'self...... Is this component nomenculture imported from t'EwSeeJeeBee?
On the transfer list!?
