Ground loop related to VPI SDS/motor at 45 rpm?

2 choices
1-lubricate the motor
2-call VPI

If you haven't oiled your motor in a while, it might be time. Although I never had a hum or noise through my speakers, when I owed an Aries 3 the motor would hum ar 45rpm audibly when I placed my ears around 12 inches away from the motor. I fixed it by tightening the black plastic pully on the motor with an Allen wrench and oiled the motor with a couple of drops of VPI motor oil.

I already tried the VPI motor oil. You just put a drop on the top of the spindle, right? I don't see where you tighten the black plastic pulley.

On the side of the pulley below where the belt attaches, on the side of the shaft you should see two small openings 180 degrees from each other. A small Allen wrench fits into both. Make re they are snug. It's how the plastic pulley is removed from the motor and gets loose over time.

Is it on the black piece where the belt attaches? I don't see any small openings. There are two groves, either for the belt to fit in, and a flange just below them. The whole piece clamps down somehow on the motor's axle, but I don't wee any allen screws holding it on.
I also did some testing with my SDS. I changed the voltage from 102 to 96 and 108, and both of these voltages actually made the noise much worse.
