clutch help

[abansb]

I am not sure if this is the problem but one of my scoots it is acting funny like it is stuck in low gear my guess is maybe the clutch spring is wore out I am not for sure if the clutch is working right not for sure how to tell

The old engine I had on it felt like it would change gears up and down but this one doesn't do that is there anyway to check to make sure the clutch is working properly without riding the scoot

Thanks

you could take the cover off and watch the cvt do its thing

sounds more like the variator or torque sheave. you will have a hard time starting it with the cvt cover off if its a qmb since the cvt cover has to on for both the kickstart and electric start to work.

i usually just take all the bolts off, leaving the 2 bolts closest to the starter gear hand tight, start it, then remove those last 2 and pop the cover off

Ok I got around to doing like Ososlow suggested the belt is going up the variator about 1/4 inch from the top and the belt going up on the clutch about 1/2 inch from the top of the clutch when I rev it up almost looks like the belt is evenly on the variator and clutch.

But the clutch is working not for sure like it is suppose to

Thanks again for the help

Buy an impact wrench, take it all apart and inspect, clean and replace any bad parts.

This shows all the components and how they work. Watch the videos.

The sliding parts on the clutch have probably dried out. There is a thin sleave on the back of the clutch pulley. Use a screwdriver and gently take the sleave off. Under there it needs grease. The outer pulley slides on three pins. You can pop the pins out real easy. Pull the sliding sheaves apart and grease inside. Put them back together, put pins in and grease the tracks. Pop the cover sleave on and your done. Oh clean the pulleys very well.

There's a really cool tutorial by Brent with lots of pics here:

I used Hi-temp brake grease on the one I did.

I got the problem fixed the belt was slipping I replaced the belt and no hesitation what so ever

I put the belts side by side the one I took off was an inch longer same size wrote on the belts
