Just my luck..the last part I needed to replace broke..

Lower pulley..

While I'm searching for a reasonable priced good used..

Has anyone changed to 4lb on LMR ..

I'm assuming that would add boost even on stock upper.
Would a handheld tune for smaller pulley cover that change?

It might but best to throw it on the rollers to verify the air fuel. My canned tune was really fat and left a lot on the table.

Was it the stock pulley? Any idea as to how/why it happened?

What about getting a stock replacement?
There are some on eBay. Not cheap though - $300 and up.

It has 400k on it is why lol. He's posted pics of rebuilding the lower and it was wore out the last time he posted pics of it.

Op metco sells a stock pulley ring for their lowers. Im sure a nice low mileage used lower could be had for much less, might make another 400k.

I had been replacing the bushings with just removing tribar..

Threads aren't made to go on and off..homemade left hand threads..

It finally stripped out..

Pulley itself is egged out beyond bushing hole...or I would repair tried bar and Allen bolt..

It's time for another..

I did reply to 1 in market section..just waiting.

I have some good stock pulleys lowers still on the bracket you can have 1, just need your address. All you'd need is bushing material and to reuse your tribar if its salvageable.

Lmr sells kit but doesn't offer stock pulley size. Maybe a call direct might be better than on site shopping .Same price.
Just spent 2grand on car replacing worn parts and spent a lot at lmr..Ive been happy with there shipping .

Finally got pulley on..
Some flaws in kit still,not a big deal..

Belt was to short. Had to use a smaller pulley on bridge..and belt just made it on after a good fight. .

I have to recheck if I ordered wrong or belt chart was wrong..or boxed ..

Haven't done anything on tune yet..

Tune now should be safe for 10lbs..

Needle was only going to the letter T in the word boost..at wot

I got it up to line before 10 than let off .

I'm going to do a wot run when close to home and log it..
