    Air compressor cover

    image.jpgimage.jpg I don’t understand why this is happening. My old 225 opti would eat up the cover from the air compressor pulley and now this is a new engine with only 42hrs and its happing again. I noticed it at 10hrs happening

    Grommet problem or not properly indexed and plastic stand damaged.

    Of course, make sure the air compressor pulley isn't loose (or compressor failing).

    Thanks Don. Ya all grommets for cover good and pulley not loose and compressor good. When cover and grommets are snapped down the cover will not move at all. Took it out today and ran her hard with a few boys and cover stayed intact so I will keep an eye on her
