Michell motor is noisy:what to do?

Hi
The stand alone motor on my Michell Gyro is kinda noisy.
It is not electrical hum but rather a lisping sound coming from a rotating wheel.Once i heard it i can identify it from 2,5m (my sitting position).How to eliminate it?

I had a similar problem on my Michell Tecnodec, as the little pulley was slightly touching the motor housing, which can happen when the pulley becomes slightly loose. If it is the same problem in your case, it can be fixed within seconds using a small hex key.

Good luck,

Rene

DC motor? I have the same problem and just spoke to Dave @ Artech (US distributor) who told me to send it in to have it looked at. Mine is still under warranty however. I have not done so yet but will post the results.

Classic95, did you have a look at the motor pulley before sending it in? The lisping sound from the misaligned pulley was an easy fix on my Tecnodec, which has the same DC motor as the Gyro. In fact another user of the Tecno wrote to me with exaclty the same problem. Looks like the pulley on many new Tecnos and Gyros is just not mounted correctly from the start.
