Well, I’m in the survey as NOT MODIFIED.<= /o:p>

Ed, On the same subject, how many hours are you gett= ing out of your alternator belts?

I’ve got about 50 hours on mine and am seeing = black powder on the top cowling underside and the same on the belts.

And where can I get a 4” diameter dual-groove = pulley for the rotary?

I bought one from Racing Beat but it is only about 2= .75-3” diameter … would like to slow my alternator more.
