Proto2000 GP20 flywheel rubbing on weight

I can't see an easy way to fix the motor mount, so I'd be inclined to work on the weight. You could fiddle with it so that it sits a few thou higher, or else file off a few thou where it makes a difference.

Good luck.

You basically didn't put something back where it came from! I'd suspect that the weight sn't properly seated in its place. this is akin to the plastic kits where it isalmost impossible to get them back into the box after you open them and take out the various parts. There is only one way that they go together again!

It doesn't look like it's set up that way. The screws should align the frame back to where it's supposed to be.

Maybe a set of Kadee coupler washers would provide the necessary clearance.

Good idea. I could drop a few washers in between the weight and frame and raise it that little bit higher.

The only thing I haven't tried with the motor mount is to take it off, swap the rubber mounts side-to-side and reinstall it. Other than that, you're right... there is no way to adjust the motor mounts.

if it is an Athearn style mount, you should be able to twist it slightly left or right. Make sure the motor is level and inline with the chassis.

That seems to have fixed it! It's running smoothly now, and not scraping on the weight.

glad I could help. It worked every time when a customer had the same problem.

then you will never have trained a master.
