Alternator drive gear.

Perhaps you just need a slight hearing loss? :lol:

Year ???

Any idea how long the Wing had sat for ???

Has the old gas been removed and new gas put in ???

Can you make a video of the noise, post it on YouTube, and copy and paste the link here ??? FYI, in the video,if you cannot hear the noise, neither will anyone else.
