These pulley kits by Balmar offer the opportunity to install a larger alternator than would otherwise be possible; this kit is for the Yanmar 2GM20-F, 3GM30-F, and 3GM-F. The F stands for fresh water cooled. Alternator upgrades using a single drive belt are limited by the amount of power that can be transferred by the belt but using a multi grooved belt considerably increases the possibilities. The kits include a set of serpentine pulleys for the crankshaft, water pump pulley and alternator. This pulley kit comes with two belts so you have a spare, the alternators need to be purchased separately. If you order an alternator at the same time as the kit it will come with the appropriate pulley pre-installed.
Notice This kit is designed for use with a Balmar 6 series or XT series alternator. If you want to use it with your stock Hitachi alternator then you also need to purchase the Hitachi Pulley 48-AM-97. This special Hitachi pulley fixes an alignment issue. It may be possible to use the kit with any alternator that has a 17mm shaft diameter, but the fit and alignment is not guaranteed. Using this kit with other alternators may require you to to purchase a different alternator pulley 48-AM-106 and you may need to change the length of the belt. |
