Re: weird motor noises

I found that our gearbox/motor plate didn't seat fully, probably because of one of the plastic washers in the gearbox. If the allenhead screws were tightened, it would bend the motor mounting plate, which resulted in the motors being bent outwards from each other. I put some shims under the mounting plate, then added some large hose clamps to make sure the motors were parallel. Now the noise doesn't leak out
