Jacoolw Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 My Bailey v5 started "juddering". I was convinced it was the belt slipping, but I tightened it event more than recommended and it is still juddering. It happens randomly at different revs. It will "judder" between 1 and 5 times and then run fine for a while, then judder again. It does not feel like it affect thrust and the motor runs smoothly otherwise. Have anyone experienced this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi k Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 My thoughts would be fuel issue or carburetor setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GR002 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Check all wiring connectors. I have had this twice and both times it was wiring connectors. This as due to wear due to vibration 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cleaned it out and no more juddering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
