Chain & Oil Questions

Dude I’m telling you she isn’t interested. I don’t want to dabble in my aunt’s relations. She also isn’t a huge fan of guns.

It’s ok, I’ve just been jerking your chain.

Can you two discuss your love lives privately, like in a PM?

Looked at a Subaru EX17 manual...

Don’t ever read these manuals, they condemn and indict you over the maintenance you’re not doing. And here I am expecting fuel lines to last forever... Anyone know of a fuel line that stays flexible forever and doesn’t turn as hard as a carp?

Use hydrolic hose.

Use hydrolic hose.

What about hydraulic hose? Will that work?

Quick question, when my kart is coasting it seems to make a noise like crying Donald Duck. I think it is coming from the cvt. Is this normal? It cropped up after I adjusted chain tension by moving the jack shaft and engine. Any thoughts? The pulleys still seem pretty dang straight. I adjusted the belt tension to the spec sheet.

Put the rear up on blocks and see if you can pin point where its coming from.

Its hard for me to hear it from here.

If its a new noise, check the last thing you touched.

We have checked just about everything I touched, it is the CVT. I noticed the belt bounces a little when we push it.

You know the drill.

Me and my dad made belt and chain covers from a Volkswagen Vanagan roof.

I know but I lined everything up as best I could and I checked everything possible. I got the CVT distance set right as well.

Perhaps you should unadjust the chain tension. Start over, then 1 step at a time, in the correct order and l'll bet the problem becomes very obvious.
Easy for me to say! Right?
I'm not doing the work!
I can't even begin to know how many times i've had to redo something. I've spent hours making something only to find some flaw, either in theory, process, function or fit, only to throw it in the scrap and start over. Thats learning the hard way.
Take a break, rethink it and start where you started when the problems began, you'll figger it out quickly.
Probably 90% of the classics here were discarded at some point cuz the PO couldnt fix it, didn't know how, or got frustrated.
Thats all! Now git out there and give em hell!
Dont take no shyt from some little machine!

That’s not a GENUINE COMET BELT IS IT?

It is.

Drive it for a while and sea if the noise goes away or changes.
