Default driven clutch woes

Got to noticing that the spring seat ramps have grooves cut into them. Been wondering how that affects the performance on the cart. Well...rode to a buddies place today and about 3/4 of the way there, about 3 miles, cart started sounding funny. Got off and lifted the seat and the new plowmans belt that G1-G9 put on it was shredded.

Like I said, I'm new to gas and this cart is a learning experience. Any suggestions what happened or if the driven caused this is appreciated.

Yes, the grooves prevent the clutch from shifting smoothly
and can shred a belt due to heat and miss alignment.
The sheaves open and close in sync and when the driven lags
it pulls the belt out of alignment.

Chris--I've got a real decent set of sheaves from the G16--if you want them, they're yours. When I broke the input shaft, I replaced everything except the helix.

That would be great Dave.

I don't believe it's my primary clutch where the problem lies dbmachine, it's my driven clutch that's acting up.
