Hi ppl,
Out today (sunday) enjoying the early spring in the buggy when on the way home i noticed a rattle/vibration when i took off from a set of lights. It's a 1600tp type 1 swing axle chassis.
I don't have a tacho so i'm estimating that it occurs only between engine revs approx 2500rpm - 3800rpm then goes away beyond this range. Idles well and still has plenty of power and torque.
Ruled out gearbox, diff, flywheel/clutch etc (i think) as it disappears with clutching and occurs with reving stationary and moving with or without clutch engaged. Plus clutch biting nicely etc etc.
Sounds like it is coming from the fan end of the generator. Could the fan be loose? Could it be a fan bearing? Not sure if the generator is charging or not?? How do i check generator charging??
What other info is needed to help diagnose this problem??
Limped home with no problem, but was sounding like a truck in the end but not getting any worse.
Any help is great.
