Hi All,
Was listening recently and noticed my Classic Ani was sounding off. Wowowowow and fluttery.
The drive pully has a lot of wobble in it. When I watched some YT vids outboard motors the small diameter pulley didn't have the same wobble. I lubed everything up including under the pulley, resnugging the hex mounting screws incrementally as recommended elsewhere. I've let it run but no change.
Also, I noticed that when I rotated the pulley by hand without the belt it was really coggy/steppy, not smooth. Not sure if this is correct or not.
It's drive system has hardly been touched so I'm a little surprised but hey, things change.
TIA,
Brian

After reading the post regarding the "accelerometer restults of the Classic TT" from 2016- which is about the era of my Classic Ani, if they're the same deck then if I hear mine its far higher than -80db.
Thanks for the link.
The drive shaft that the pully is mounted to to isn't linear-I see daylight on the side when my micrometer is on it vertically.
Does the drive shaft have some sort of alignment mechanism or am I looking at a new motor? Lube down the central shaft didn't quiet it down or make it run straight.
When you say "wobble" do you mean loose or it does not run true/concentric? I'm going to assume the latter. Back off all three grub screws, and then turn each one until you some resistance (very little). Once all three are touching the spindle with very little pressure, turn each one a 1/4 turn and repeat until sung. This should centre the pulley on the shaft.
