Hello Fellow MG nuts,
Thanks for everyones help. Upon close inspection I found that the
alternator fan WAS fouling the alternator body/case! Can a alternator
repair shop fix this or is it time for a new alterantor?
Tia,
Edwin

Hello All,
Yesterday afternoon I pulled into my drive way, shut off my '77 MGB and
noticed a sound like a table saw makes when the power is shut off (kind of
a slinnngggg chang chang chang). I thought something might be fouling one
of the pulleys. I popped the hood and found nothing. I started the car up
and shut it off again....no sound. This morning after driving the car 10
minutes, maybe, I shut it off and the sound was there, just muted. Again
this afternoon, after driving for about 10 min., I shut the car off, it
ran-on or dieseled for a couple seconds and the sound was more chunky. The
alternator is not loose and the fan pulley is not loose. What could this
sound be?
TIA,
Edwin
