So I got the last pieces of my NWGS build together tonight. The motor is still not mounted as I was wanting to make sure that I had the drive wheel lined up with the rest of the wheels before I set the motor position.
I have followed the plans but have a problem. When I fired it up the belt wobbles back and forth, side to side approximately 1/8". It appears that the drive shaft or at least something in that setup is wobbling.
The drive shaft was purchased from Tracy along with the 3-step pulleys. The drive wheel came directly from Sunray. I may try mounting the drive wheel directly onto the motor to make sure that it is balanced.
The bolts holding down the pillow blocks are tight and I squared everything up as close as I could. I checked the motor and pulley and it runs very smoothly.
Any suggestions as to what I should check next?
Thanks,
Charlie
