I disconnected the drive from the engine at the chain coupling and was able to get it up and running. I guess my main concern was that the drive clutch was turning the driven and I was thinking the sheaths were engaged to far in. I was thinking as with snowmobiles that the drive clutch is not engaged till the RPM's come up and the weights start to engage the clutch and close it onto the belt. I know that the sheaths in this system are actuated by hydraulics and was thinking that the drive clutch could be engaged to far and causing the driven to turn witch is turning the inner axle shafts and not possible free spooling like a snowmobile clutch would. The Ford v4 seems to run good and I will try it next with the chain coupling connected to test the hydraulics. I still need to drain the hydraulic system and install a new suction filter before further testing.</p></blockquote><p></p>
