    Custom CVT belt

    I have a tourqe a verter on my kart, and it keeps eating belts. I've talked with a small engine guy, and he and I both have come to the same conclusion : the 669 18 30 belt that came with the kit is just a little too big and too loose. I've looked online several times unsucessful in trying to...
