Default ST170 noisy bearing? from around aux belt.
My ST170 has developed a light "tinkling" noise from around the aux/cam belt area. It doesn't vary much with an increase in revs. It doesn't sound like something is rattling, it is a more light metallic sound. Advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Dave

Remove the aux belt then start engine and see if noise is present.
