Default Frustrated (Updated 9/31)

For those of you tracking my under-drive pulley install and offered advice, Thank you. I finally got the dang think put in there last night. I took 4 hours off from work to get a head start and wrapped everything up (including test drive, of course) at around 7:30.

This install is a PITA. Didn't help I did this all on my back. Lowering the sub-frame did help a lot. I didn't take pictures, but I may still do a write up with tips to help installs go faster and tools you should use. I learned a lot form this. It took me at least 7 hours. But, I think I could do it again in under 4 knowing what I know now.

I now have no wobble.:cheers: SOTP, it does seem to pull out of the gears better then before. I really notice a difference when it hits 3500+ RPM. It feels like a 2 stroke coming on the pipe. :)

Later, Keith :flag
