Since the vibration here is most apparent at one particular
RPM, there might be a resonance at work, and resonances are often weight-related; the weight of the engine, for instance, and then we would suspect mounts, or maybe an exhaust pipe buzzing against the cowling. Could be something else. Pulsating vibration can be caused by the interaction of two rotating components running at other than whole-number ratios. In this case, it might be bad generator bearings, since the gen is gear-driven and (I believe) doesn't run at any even ratio with the crankshaft. Pulsating rumble in auto engines is sometimes caused by worn main crank bearings; as the crank turns, it "walks" around the bearing and causes that sort of noise. Metal in filters or falling oil pressure are symptoms. Dan |
