Hi all-
Welcome to all new members. You have chosen well.
Keep the rubber gloves close, though :)
Here's a related question. I am in the middle of
cleaning and re-positioning the motor on my M400. Got
the new grommets and washers, too. Upon removing the
belt I noticed that the flywheel/capstain turn freely.
However, the bearings make a little noise, as if the
balls are loose inside. Is this normal, or does it
indicate a need for oil and/or bearing replacement?
