Noticed you sent your KB in for bearing noise. Mine makes quite a bit of racket also. What kind of noise were you getting and, if you don't mind, what was the outcome when you sent it in?

Thanks,

It was making a rattling noise at idle, once over 1000 rpms it sounded fine.

They took care of it and sent me a new blower. The new one is perfect.

HMMMM, mine does the same. Guess I'll stick my ear a little closer one more time to make sure I am not hearing something else.

Mine was making the noise from the front nose cone, or snout what ever you call it.

The KB use a alluminum part instead of the phanolic to conect the nose cone shaft to the rotor pack gears. This is what I bet is making the noise either that or a bearing in the nose cone.

How many miles on your KB, Don......:smoke:

Did yours make your engine sound like a diesel? Kind of what mine sounds like now. Did you contact the vendor that sold it to you or Kenne Bell directly? Think I'll be making some calls.

Don: Reply Would Be Appreciated
 

Don's Bolt,

Did you have any play in the shaft or noticeable resistance?

Ya it did kinda sound like a diesel at idle, and there was a little play in the front nose cone. Yes I called KB direct.
