Motors not parallel

    Hi

    Have odd issue with the motors : they are not parallel(look at the picture). I have measured anything , and I can find the problem . Both belts have the same tension and so on. It look like the right motor slope a little bit. The belt on right site also need to feed the gear perfect(and do not).

    Any idea what happens?

    I reckon it's one (or both) problems:-

    1. RH motor mount bent inwards.
    2. One of the motor mounts has moved where it bolts to the flange on the hanger.

    You should be able to undo the flange bolts and get enough movement to line the motors up. You may need to undo both sides to be able to align them. If you can't align them, it's probably (1) above... nothing a bit of careful hammering couldn't fix.

    Always use Locktite when reassembling.

    the motor mounts are garbage, they bend and break. order 10 so you have spares
