[V8] turkey gobble

[Ron Wainwright]

Belt is tensioned to tight. "Turkey Gobble" is classic
case of a bad WP. But since you just replaced it...I'd
say your belt tension is too tight.
Did you adjust the shock to 5 1/4 inches? Measure from
the top of the coils on the shock, to the lower part
of the sock spring.
There should be a pic siomewere or were to measure
from.
