That's the one that has been for sale on Pittsburgh Craigslist for a while, right? That should move about twice that speed. He probably has the incorrect clutch spring in the driven clutch (2 stroke spring because it probably originally had a G50B Chaparral 2 stroke in it) and the belt is probably way too lose.

First thing to check is belt tension. Should be just able to pull the belt up and get about 1/16 inch clearance on inside hub( at crankshaft ) or engine clutch. Looser than that will give pour performance. Also full throttle with the belt on in reverse should be about 4100 rpm
Thanks guys yes this is the one from Pittsburg. Forward it revs to 4000rpm what spring should I get?
Green or red. The red is for more grunt, and the green gets you up to speed a bit faster.
l like to buy stuff and no I don't do payments!
Is that spring for the engine clutch or the tranny clutch?
The secondary (on the t-20). You may want to post a picture of your clutch setup to make sure it's the right clutches as well.

Thanks a lot I will take pictures tonight. Another question is the only way I see replays to this post is if I check it. Is there a way to get an email notification?
Congrats on your puchase H. You have to check back every day at least 4 times once you have joined our cult. Its a rule. Then you will buy more machines until you can't fit cars in your garage. Oh wait, thats sounds like me. Anyways good luck. Later Mike
