I will chip in with a hearty agreement here. After going through two stock aluminum sprockets, then the SuperMax, then finally settling for the newer stock steel sprocket I did them all. Tried silicone sprays with the same results. At first spraying the belt and assembly does quiet it down quite a bit but it wears off. The steel sprocket finally made it reasonable and still, I had to tweak the alignment until it was just right. What I have now, at post 55,000 miles is a reasonably good system.The belts are practically indestructible and will last up to 100,000 miles with care on a bike.

I still get noise, but that is usually a symptom of driving it hard at speed. At those points everything is loud. It's a loud, open cockpit car with a very noisy drivetrain that was all filched from the last century. It's supposed to be noisy!

Well chaps. It’s time to bid you all farewell. I’ve decided the Morgan Super 3 life just isn’t for me. Without getting all negative, I’ll just say the car and I just didn’t gel. I managed to trade it in for a Lotus Elise 240 Final Edition, which suits my needs far better.
Good luck to you all, the Super 3 is the maddest and coolest car I will ever own.

I didn't realise I was Morgan staff! wink


We must be owed a wage then surely? 😂
