OK the story

[Top banana]

Since putting the 15/20 speed was 70.8 @7900rpms
when the 14/19 was on there speed was 73.9 @8100-8150
I repitched the 15/20 speed is 70.1 @8150-8200
also a real bad noise from 8200down to about 7700 and bad vibration
Have just installed Jerrys washers cant work out if it is SC or Pump
Any help would be appriciated

Rob, if it's vibration something isn't right in the pump

[DIGGS]

did it vibrate after the repitch?

[Danny]

the wear ring is spinning...

this is very strange noise comes and goes not constant
what doesnt make sense is the 70.1 at 8150-8200 and before i pitched it 70.8 @7900

[DIGGS]

i believe danny may have hit it on the head

[Danny]

If you pitch the blade, you change the tolerance on the trailing edge, which can come in contact with the ring...if the ring is spinning, you will get a LOW FREQUENCY vibration, like a shutter or jimmy....Like an out of balance tire on a car.

pumps off wear ring is not spining and in very good condition.i do have a ss wear ring.Maybe i over pitched the prop and at 8200rpm im getting high speed cavertation

can anyone tell me the measurement on a 15/20 out the box trailing edge to bottom of the hub ive repitched mine again to 8mm

[Danny]

The ring may not spin by hand, but it will at high speed....you need to remove the ring and see for any witness marks (circular scoring) on the ring where it touches the pump housing....

Based on a recent thread where I asked that question, stock measurement is usually 6 - 6.5mm outside trailing edge to hub ... pretty much straight across horizontal from the hub.
