On my Ruby I have a Dynamotor fitted (with the original drive gear supplied with it ) , the engine has been fully rebuilt and had only covered 34000 miles before being laid up in 1960. On a recent run, Bernard Cowley said "those timing gears sound noisy ", to which I replied, I think its the fan . This has got me thinking, could it be the Dynamotor gear making the noise? , I will remove the plate today to inspect the gears, the engine/dynamotor have covered 500 miles since rebuild.
