[QUOTE="sparkywig, post: 471866, member: 3541"] Forgot to mention earlier in all the excitement. Started the engine up to balance and set the carbs, and there was a horrible knocking noise at low revs. :shock: Oh, ****.... All sorted now though, turned out to be the alternator pulley hitting the alternator case. Problem solved by shimming the pulley off the case slightly. Can't understand how this happened all of a sudden as the alternator ran for almost 5 years on the single port. However there is a slight bit of forward and backwards play on the alternator shaft so looks like the bearings have worn. I'll need to keep an eye on this I think. [/QUOTE]
