rjenman Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Posted June 30, 2005 Just put my new exhaust on. Super quiet except for the squeeking i was talking about... Got impatient and just sprayed the fan belt with WD40, no squeeks whatsoever now :thumbsup: Quote
irokin Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 "Belt Grip". It comes in an aerosol can. Just spray it on the belt and pulley. When it dries, it becomes tacky. We use it on the Drill Presses at work, and it works a treat ROFL we use it on MASSIVE conveyor belts when we umm bog them down with rock..... and it works very well Quote
yohan18 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 i have a similar problem on my ke70 5k but mine happens when i change down gears, it slips as the motor is reving up (changing down gears to stop). i think i can hear it when the motor is reving hard but my exhaust is loud ;). i have tightened the belt that much that there is almost no deflection in the belt but it still does it.... i was thinking of making up and idler pulley to wrap the belt around the pulley abit more maybe that may help... or if anyone has a idea would be appreciated.

Evan G Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 try a new belt and if the pulley got wear in it swap it for a new one Quote
glenpos Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 pull your dipstick out while its running and touch it on your belt hehe Quote
yohan18 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 try a new belt and if the pulley got wear in it swap it for a new one it has a new belt il hsve to get a new waterpump pulley. Quote
oldie Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 I have this problem ocassionally and I have 2 solutions,number 1 old school is smear a little butter on the belts,usually stops the squeaking,number 2 is silicon chain lube from a bike shop,aerosol can,just spray it on but it does leave a white residue.

yohan18 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 or i can just take it into work and put it in the lathe and emery the pulley to make ruffer.. Quote
Boosted Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 try a new belt and if the pulley got wear in it swap it for a new one And we have a winner ! (probably) Pulley wears so much that the belt no longer drives on the flanks of the belt properly, may even be running on the base of the pulley if it's worn bad enough. Roughing it up won't help if the belt has worn the groove down, new pulley will be the only way. Should be able to see the polish marks in the bottom of the pulley if it isn't running in the wedge properly. Quote
troyota Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 Ribbed or V-belt ? You can "de-glaze" v-belts and pulleys to stop the squeel . Ive been doing this for years ! Quote

Ive been doing this for years ! take a photi and put up what ive done so you guys can see and hopefully it works. ill Took the pulkey off abd took it into work and spun it the lathe and machined it so it has fresh v and made up a idlrr pulkey to mount off ths alternator braxket tk bring the belt.round ths pulley abit more to give more surface contact on the water pump pulleye Quote
