Thank you. So the variator is the other wheel looking part towards the front right? If I take that off, what am I looking for? I should still take the clutch apart and look for a broken spring right?

One last thing and I'll shut up.
The reason you adjust the idle to a speed just before the wheel spins is so the clutch isn't grabbing at a stop light. If your idle is so high that the scooter wants to roll at stop lights the clutch will heat up from the friction of the grabbing pads. That heat will can cook the belt and screw up everything. That's also why there is no grease in the CVT area except inside the torque driver and a little on the kick start gears. Grease on the belt or clutch = slippage which = heat and failure.

This is some info that will help you understand everything better 49ccscoot.proboards.com/thread/6604/cvt-basics-new-scooter-ownersThere is a main "contra" spring and three torque springs on the pads themselves and the only way to get to them is to take the big nut off the clutch.   |

When you take the variator off check the spindle that it moves on as well as the weights inside are not jammed or flat spotted. To get the variator off your going to need an impact driver and a 17mm socket. I got a corded impact gun from harbor freight tools. I also got the cordless impact and it was mot strong enough to get it off. Let us know when your this far haha.

Its not likely that your clutch is the issue at all.
Trust us on the clutch bell moving the rear wheel.

Hey Guys. So I went to a scooter shop today and had a guy look at it. He changed the Clutch to a new one and cleaned out the carburetor. Changing the clutch seems to have fixed the problem. But now the scooter seems slower. Is that normal?

That's the variator and it was shot out all right. One of the worst I've seen.
When you say it's slower now do you mean it takes off slower and takes longer to get up to speed or does it take off like a rocket and top out at a lower speed than before?
Did you keep the old parts?
