and how tight should a belt be? ive read you want about 1" deflection but with the belt that tight it will be spinning the driven clutch on the trans, is that ok?
It shouldn't spin the driven clutch beyond just a creep. At idle the drive clutch should be in its widest position (regarding the pulley sheaves) and they should be wider than the belt, so that you aren't getting any contact on the sides of the belt (at least that't the way mine works). The only belt contact on the drive side, then, is the belt resting against the clutch center shaft. If for some reason 1 inch of deflection does cause the drive pulley to spin more than just a creep, or causes the belt to squeal, then loosen the belt just a bit. I tell you these things with respect to a Comet 780 clutch system on a 4 stroke engine. Not sure if your setup would act differently.with the belt that tight it will be spinning the driven clutch
thanks for the info.
i may have more than just belt problems though, someone put 90 wt gear oil in the trans and it had some water in it too. i drained it and filled with ATF but was told the bands would be saturated and not grab as they should, so looks like i might be building a trans....
