I am saying that if it is the problem and needs to be fixed, then rebuild is the only option other than a used part if you can find one

If you want to get rid of the squeak yes.

I guess I'll get Marc's opinion. As I described, the squeak only manifests itself at first start, then fades to inaudible w warmup. It doesn't come back until the motor gets stone cold overnight. I do have a spare which is the one I swapped out thinking this one was newer. However, nothing wrong w old one, just a preventative measure.

This may be a silly question, but how old is the belt and are you certain it is the right size? Try the easy stuff first.

Todd,

Thanks for chiming in. Belt was changed last year when Pete rehabbed the motor when he found the busted compression ring on #7. Its the tensioner because slight pressure on the tensioner during warm up, as Phil suggested, eliminated the squeak by restricting travel of the tensioner. Remove pressure, squeak is back.

Dom,

Do you need a wheel? I've got one spare that I can send you. Mine is still holding on. When it goes out, I can find another..

Steve,

Thx but not necessary. I have a spare tensioner. Just need to swap pulley from the one on there. If I need one, I’ll drop it off to Marc.
