SNEAK PREVIEW
Yes Steve, it was fairly smooth. Noisy as all get out thought! Not sure what is going on. I think the motor stand is making some noise. The motor is quite sitting on the concrete. I noticed it was noisier on the wood stand I built.
Then I put the belt on and gee whiz! The motor pulley is a hollow aluminum pulley and rings like a bell when you hit it. The metal clipper lacing hitting it is, I assume, making a lot of the noise. With the belt off it's fairly quite. So the noise is in the drive line and/or belt related.
I really don't like all this noise. Got to figure out how to quite it down. I am thinking a new base is to start with.
As I was getting ready to quit for the night I shot a quick video. I will replace this one with something better latter on. But thought I would share it. So here is your sneak preview.
