main pulley

Post by bill hauck »

my main pulley doesn't seem to be on correctly. seems out of round or something. I don't see how it could be on crooked as it is a pretty tight fit on the crankshaft.

You need to run a dial.if out of round install a new stock or kick it up with a better pulley

Take it off and reinstall it, it might just be a little mistake.

I'm with Matt. Sounds like a bent pulley.
