Belt Problems

[slaughter83]

Hey guys,
I bought a belt for my spree for the mod, and now after i got the belt on the engine won't turn over fast enough for the engine to start. I bought a 1x3x62 cm belt and it seems to be really tight on there and think thats why it won't turn over. Also the order of pieces to put onto the crank drive or whatever you'd call the rod that comes out of the engine. is the inner drive part then the outer, then a washer, then the nut? hope thats right. and do i tighten it until i can't tighten it anymore?

Thanks,
-Nick

Did you reassemble everything correctly. The belt sounds like the right length. So that leaves incorrect assembly making the belt to tight.

I bought a 1x3x62 cm belt

If the belt you got was really 1cm wide, the stock belt is 1.14cm, and it would be too narrow. Its like putting on a worn belt.

Stock belt is 62.8 x 1.14 x 30°

That's length x width x angle of belt face in cm.

pretty sure i reassembled it correctly. just wasn't sure if there was washer or somethin that went between the V of the main shaft.

that be the crankshaft. it goes the washer, inner pully, belt, outer pully, nut.
