anyone ever had the alternator strap snap off?

I happened to find My alternator strap had snapped off

I've never heard of this happening,

I found My original Generator strap and it looks the same size...

Hi Lee

They are the same part. I've seen Chinese ones bend pretty bad, but not break.

there turbo clamps and they also use them for farm water systems

dads trike had a cheap chinese chrome one that snapped where the bolt goes thro
ive welded it back together tho and its been fine since

Lee, is that a 36hp carb on ur engine?
bit small for a 1500??

No its a weber single throat carby
made to fit dual port manifolds
so its actually a bit larger than the solex pict 30
throat...
the manifold is slotted to fit the carby..

engine is now 1600 single port...

I'll use my original generator strap and if it ever fails
I'll use one of those large dual bolt irrigation clamps

cheers
