[QUOTE="Unicam, post: 99616, member: 13790"] Finally finished bolting and blocking up my driven sheave. drove it around a short bit, everything was fine, then while making some turns my belt flipped. In my haste i didn't have good alignment of the pulleys. I pulled the thing back apart and set proper alignment of the sheaves but the belt flipped back over while making some more turns. i'm thinking two things and please give your opinions. One, the belt was damaged the first time it flipped ( alignment was off about 1/2" so i see why it did). so the belt was damaged. it got very oily from handling both times, it's covered in grease and oil. also i'm concerned that i'm putting too much pressure to the variable sheave pulling the belt way too tight. thoughts? i put a thick spacer under the allen set screw before and i'm thinking that is putting too much pressure on the belt and system. if i remove the thick washer, will that reduce the pressure being applied to the variable sheave? it's pulling it so tight, it's actually slightly rolling it / deforming it. also the variable sheave doesn't want to fully let go of the belt when i pull the handle back. thoughts on that too? thanks for the help, nathan [/QUOTE]
