Title: Generator pulley near Penticton?
Post by: rekka on July 02, 2014, 12:46:36 PM: Just days after the Kelowna swap and the end of the CIP 20% sale, my generator pulley fell apart (type 1). Does anyone close to Penticton have one I can buy or borrow as I'm too cheap to buy a new one and pay shipping and too lazy to drive up to Al's in Kelowna for one. It's worth a try.

Cheers

When I had my overheating issue some of my online research pointed to try over spinning the fan with either a 356 pulley or using extra spacers and running a shorter belt lower down in the pulley. It didn't seem to like it, but now my cooling is under control I can go back to the stock set up.

Gordo wanted me to paint the new pulley before I put it in, as he's a bit of a buffer. So I did.

Cheers

Gordo!
