I'll trade you a single pulley ring gear for the double pulley one if you want. I'll ship ahead to verify that it will fit, but I'd be happy to trade. As Deems said, it's not a cheap thing to buy, so working out a swap would be much better in the long run.

Gus at Van’s stated that is what Lycoming now ships on the YIO-540-D4A5. However, I know of at least two other folks that got the single pulley. Gus stated that Lycoming would swap it out for me.

Bob, Why do you have a dual belt prop pulley? The standard pulley is a single belt. The only reason I’m aware of for having a dual belt is to accommodate an A/C compressor. For those installations w/ A/C they have been relocating the alternator to the other side of the engine and placing the compressor where the old alternator was?

Subject: Plane Power and Lycoming Pulley Alignment Issue
I’ve been talking with Dick Carmichael at Plane Power about an alignment issue on my RV-10 between the pulley on the Plane Power 60a alternator and the pulley that came with my IO-540-D4A5, which were both purchased through Van’s. I’ve attached a photo for review. In the photo, I’ve also placed a square against the back of the Lycoming pulley.
As you can plainly see the alternator belt is out of alignment. In talking with Dick, he stated that this is due to the dual belted pulley that came with my engine. He further stated that he couldn’t guarantee that the belt would stay on and it clearly would have a shortened life due to the misalignment.
Since there are no user adjustments for this alignment with the Boss mount, I’m being told by Plane Power to use a single belt pulley on the engine.
Is this the standard pulley for an IO-540-D4A5? Plane Power is giving me the indication that this is not the case. Is there the possibility that the incorrect part was substituted by Lycoming?
Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, what did you do?
Thanks,
bob
