Axial play on crankschaft Camel 500
Posted: 19 Jun 2016 15:36
Hi guys,
I am still playing with my Camel 500 after rebuilt (done some 700 km's after total rebuilt). I noticed a noice qetting worse from The flywheel area and i had experience with a loosing crankshaft pulley on a 500 before. So I got a bit frightend that is why i had to check the crankshaft pulley just to be sure. The pulley could be shifted a bit more on the crankshaft towards the bearing and seal. There was no play in between pulley and the crankshaft end, so the key should be ok! I also noticed that the toothed belt (Optibelt) was a little loose, Ok that is strange, i thought, i will change it staight away.
But what is did find what worries me is that there is 1/10 th of a millimeter of axial play (front to back, not up and down) on the crankshaft. And now with sweat i my hands i am asking one of you experts here if that is normal on a Morini. You can feel the play on the flywheel also, front to back, just a little notch.
Any answers on this topic that calms me down are very welcome
