drive belt

Post by markj15062 »

Question. My 1984 honda spree feels like its slipping when I start out. Like I need a new belt. But when I look at the belt it looks good. Can it still need replaced? maybe its something else? once I get moving it seems fine.

Honda service manual will give you specs on wear limit for belt. Also check the clutch wear.

I bet that belt is worn right out. Belts and clutches get overlooked behind the cover so no regular Joe replaces or checks them ;-)
