<x-charset iso-8859-1>VICTORY IS MINE! A few months back I had been trying to solve the mystery of a strange undeterminable whistling noise coming from the fan shroud area. I received several suggestions, none of which resolved the problem. But just yesterday, by total accident, I identified the problem (and it's sort of a no-brainer)! What I discovered was that the generator pulley was ever-so-slightly in contact with the pulley shroud cover and at a certain RPM range, the resonance of the pulley would cause it to "sing". A slight repositioning of the pulley shroud has fixed the problem! I had removed the cover to check the timing and while I was revving it I thought, "hey, the #&$%* noise is gone"! So I decided to take it for a spin without the pulley shroud cover installed and life is good. Just thought I'd pass along this bit of info, however minor. Minor unless, like me, you've been chasing (and tolerating) this EXTREMELY annoying noise for several months.
