I ran it in neutral. The secondary clutch doesn't seem to be opening enough for the belt to climb higher on the primary clutch. I'll upload pictures later today.

Sometimes those "white" torque spring are just too stiff. They have caused sheave breakage on more than one occasion...

Video is my stock clutches. With a heavier spring in the secondary it should take more rpm to close the clutch, but it should still do what those are doing.

Perhaps the spring is too stiff. This picture was taken with full throttle. Should I go the hd stock yamaha spring or a plowman spring that isnt as stiff?

Plowmans won't sell just a spring. Their clutch kits use a machined sheave and a spring suited to how you use your cart. I'm happy with the performance of their parts.

The u-max spring is manufactured to work with stock Yamaha clutch parts, and also works well.

I have a cpp sheave which I got in their performance package. It comes machined. Does the umax spring work with the machined sheave?

Yes, I have a umax and machined sheave, I also run a HD kevlar belt from CPP. All three work really well though the belt can drag some on my 94c clutch. I think it will wear in, and since I have pedal start its not a big deal. It just shifts running with the stock belt I ran but even that took some wear to stop dragging. And it does not drag a lot just enough to not want to shift. But it has a lot more low gear this way, rpm are up in 1-2 seconds on a holeshot even with the stock clutch.

Forgot about the severe duty belt. Also, the primary needs to be operating properly for everything else to work right...(not saying that yours isn't)

Before you go spending more $, how about a up-close pic of the spring seat & sliding sheave (not spinning), if you can get at it. A pic of the input shaft going through the spring seat (on the "spring side").
