Hmm. That's a really good idea. Why not? Cause I didn't even think of it. LOL. I have a huge press at the shop that will flatten nickles. I would not even have to head it. I could just press it a couple of mm. Damn. Thanks!
nice video Sir, Thank you very much. I have a stock variator (& clutch) on a (139qmb)I'm running almost full diameter/lenght on the variator side, kind of scary keep adjusting it cause I dont want the belt fall off 😅. *Tao Tao 139qmb - with BBK , stock: clutch, variator, cam, carburetor , still runs 42mph, I weight approx 205lbs
Are you sure your belt is the right size? Sounds like the belt could be a few mm too long and not dropping all the way down into the rear (clutch). Also how thin is the belt? It should be about 28mm wide I think. A narrow or worn belt could be an issue also.
I Must of missed this video knowing you have a tool shop take the high point on variator down on your lathe so they come closer together why not have a go at casting your own stuff
@randyalmonte1431 honestly I have not tried anything but stock ones yet. I think I want to try that rolling wrench Reveno dirtbike style clutch in the 150, but super expensive. I have not researched the 50 clutches too much yet.
