Belt/Clutch Issues
I've noticed on my project cart that has a CCW 340 snowmobile motor in it that the belt is somewhat down between the sheeves. What does that mean? Everything that I've read so far pretty much states that you want the belt as close to the top of the clutch sheeves as possible. Right? I did some checking around and the belt that is on there now is an 1 1/4" belt. I know that the OEM belt should be 1 3/16", so you would think that it would be up there pretty far already being a 1/16" wider than what's supposed to be on there in the 1st place. Is it possible that the nut that holds the sheeves on the spindle isn't tight enough or maybe the clutch spring is not pushing out far enough? Any idea's?
As far as the belt goes, I don't believe that it could be too tight to where it would pull it farther into the sheeves because I can spin the belt by simply pulling on it with very little effort. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks...Mark
