Knocking noise Torque Tube?
#1
Having managed to shoehorn myself into my trials special, and driving by buying narrow Puma driving shoes, I’ve been trying to run in the rebuilt engine with local shopping runs.The engine runs well, and I am getting better at the double declutch.However as I accelerate there is a loud tapping noise, which I can negate by backing off the throttle.Today, leaving a side road the tapping became very much worse, a cacophony, of loud tapping,I did wonder if I’d picked up a stick and had got stuck in a wheel,slowing it was obvious this was not the case.I also thought maybe the fan had broken off the engine.Stopping and checking proved both wrong, I then moved off, slowly and the noise was gone? Back home I pulled out the seat base, and checked for loose items, the only possible cause I can find is the carrier for the torque tube, which has a fair amount of sideways movement, which makes the type of sound I am experiencing.My question is, should there be an amount of sideways movement in this carrier, also how do you lubricate this item?I’ve bought Doug Woodrows manual, but cannot see a lucrication chart for the 7.Can and should the carrier be adjusted, and greased? I’ve added some pictures of the carrier,the bolt head I’ve highlighted in white,is there a greasegun attachment I need ? Can the carrier be adjusted? Thank you in advance for your advice, Peter
