Question

Tru,

Isn't the reason for an underdrive setup to save a few horsepower and spin the pulleys faster or do I have that in reverse? As for the voltage, could you go to a smaller pulley without having to do everything over? I just have the standard size pulleys on mine so I don't have any voltage problems. It runs around 13 1/2 to just a hair over 14 volts. If I am correct about the underdrive spinning tha pulleys faster, then the water pump would be pumpng the cold wather through the engine faster and it will take a little longer to get heat in it. But it sounds as if you are making a lot of progress.
I did get out yesterday morning and mowed the high weeds in the yards and it was so wet it was miserable. Three hours later it was raining again.

Ron
