Belt drive mock up,

[jim454]

Here's a few picture's of my belt drive.This system works very well so-far.The belts are only $14.00 V-belts

That's slick. I bet it's pretty quiet too. What are the diameters?

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Interesting! Is there a centrifugal clutch under that shroud, or is it a clutch-tensioner? I can't quite make it out...

I'm intrigued...can we see what is under shroud?
Old Tecumseh judging by visible carb adjustments.
What size/age of engine?

It's a tensioner. You can see it if you look closely in the second photo. There's a small, black pulley between the driver and driven pullies.

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Sure enough, I saw that. Was wondering if that tensioner was also doing clutch duty, or if it was just holding static tension. Perhaps I wasn't clear.

 

[fowler]

the olny problem is it either tensions the worng side of the belt (the drive side)
or it tensions out rather than in

I tensions out, which still works, just not as good.

New Pics

Here's some new picture's of the cart ,We installed a roll bar and light's,I need to replace the belt now,we have one whole summer on the old one.The left foot pedal is the belt tightener.All the way down will throw the gravel.It takes getting used to. I believe the top pulley on the crank is 2" and the axle pulley is a 10".With a new belt this thing will go fast!
