What should the tension be on a wheel?
Regarding the question above about the actual tension vs having balanced tensions, what matters most if the balance – that is what creates a stable structure. The actual tension value seems to be a ±10 or even ±20 percent thing (based on the specs of good tensiometers and a post Park’s site called Wheel Tension Measurement ).
What happens if spoke tension is way off but wheel is true?
If the adjacent spokes with different tension are on the same side of the wheel, then you could, to a certain amount, release the tension from the tight one and tighten the loose one. If they are each on one side of the wheel, you could not even the tesion without untruing the wheel, and that means your rim is not intrinsically true.
What should I do if my spoke tension is way off?
Hope this helps. If the adjacent spokes with different tension are on the same side of the wheel, then you could, to a certain amount, release the tension from the tight one and tighten the loose one.
What happens when a water pump pulley is loose?
If the pulley is loose it can cause the water pump belts to shake and develop more heat. When this occurs, the belts can crack or literally shred; as most of these belts are made out of rubber and nylon cords for strength.
What should I do if my RV water pump is not working?
Grab a friend and ask them to turn the water pump off and on when you need it. (That is, have them toggle the onboard RV water pump switch at your cue.) Disconnect the water line from the pressure side of the pump. Turn the pump on and see if the water is pumping out. (It’s a good idea to have a bucket handy, in case it is!)
What’s the best way to loosen a tensioner?
If equipped with a tensioner screw, back off the tensioner screw. Then, push the alternator toward the other pulleys, loosening the belt. To loosen an NAI tensioner, loosen the locking nut or bolt, then back off the tensioner screw.
What to do if there is no water in your water pump?
If there is still no water, then it’s time to break down and actually examine the pump. It’s possible that something in the motor of the pump needs to be replaced or it’s time for a whole new unit. Here’s what to do. Grab a friend and ask them to turn the water pump off and on when you need it.
