OK, so I've replaced my stator coil, chain and sprockets and got her running again, but a new problem has reared its ugly head. From 30 to 40 mph, I get this awful resounding, resonant noise. Waaa.......waaa......waaa.........waaa. As if both wheels were out of round and since the speed limit is 30 thru town, it's a bit of a pain!
This does NOT affect my speed and does not appear to affect the engine. At first I thought it might be the chain seating-in, since it's brand new...but I don't recall this noise when I replaced the chain a year ago. The ONLY real difference is the REAR sprocket (47 tooth)...otherwise everything is the same as before I made repairs to the engine. I can't imagine the stator would have anything to do with it.
This "noise" only seems to appear in 4th gear, between 30 and 40 mph. I cannot reproduce it in any other gear or at any other speed range, and it doesn't seem to be related to the RPM's either.
Any ideas? This one has me stumped worse than any other problem I've had so far. If need be, I'll gladly go back to the 50 tooth rear...just to rid myself of this racket!
