So lets take it apart keep the engine and sell the pieces you don't need and I will build you the clutch you need to win the Nationals. I would be interested in knowing what the crankshaft size is. Be nice if it is the same as the Mac101 because then I already have the clutch. You would be the fastest kid on the block.

Spent another day screwing around doing nothing, but get even.
The closest neighbor and l have been involved in a prank war for a while now and it is my turn. He drives this clapped out van even though he has several collector cars and other choices. So l had the perfect canvas. He is in Hawaii for a few days so l had opportunity. After about 30 seconds thought a plan was hatched.
I'm sure he will love it when he discovers my handy work.

During testing at the MTL proving grounds over the weekend two failures occured. The first was the drive belt the other was the CVT driver clutch thingy.
So the first thing first then the other thing second…
The belt started slipping so a 10 minute replacement and we’re runnin again.
I have now completed a full scientific study on
Belt durability and wear. This is a long term study.
Two imported belts tested lasted 4.5 and 5.6 hours.
Without naming country of origin,the samples
Were 1 ply yak fiber with a coagulated yak grease hybrid compound material.
The Comet belt lasted 41.7 hours before slipping only, where the yak based material kinda exploded.
Always trying to figure out how things work, the old comet belt with an identical was sent down to the MTL testing/QC lab for forensic analysis.
There wasn’t enough yak pieces left.
So here ya have it;

So .056 wear in 41 hours of pushing 800 # of part and pork while operating outside the max power rating.
This proves absolutely nothing and amounts to nothing more than worthless information.
Aren’t you happy ya read it?
Stay tuned for the other thing…
