[jessejames]

assuming this is for a comet clutch, you must take off the driver on the engine shaft, then if the belt is proper it will fit right on. if not the belt is the wrong size

 

[jessejames]

thanks alot ui took it off and it just fit thanks man

 

[jessejames]

now that i have it on the belt starts to smoke what does that mean?

 

[Rotore]

its probably lose. rubber and friction equals smoke

 

[ckelp]

do you have it on backwards?
if there are arrows make them point towards the engine

 

[jessejames]

no i have it on right its just loose and i can't slide the engine forward because the jackshaft is mounted right to the frame and i can't slide it

 

[BriggsTwins]

you have to be able to move something, look for slots milled in the mounts anywhere. something has to move

belt to big??

 

[t0x1k]

Well, I bet the belt is too tight.
The words just fits and tc belt aren't supposed to ever be used together. It has to be loose, no effort should be needed to put on the belt once you get the outter part of the driver clutch off the engine.

i got the belt on after taking the outside of the pulley off and now the kart screws but it feels like its jerking i may need to oil or lube the pulleys but i don't know how sorry about the stupid questions im new to all this stuff:rolleyes3:

its ok, thats what we are here for. yes your flywieghts in the clutch may be sticking and that causes jerkyness. a loose belt can do that too. be certain its pointed the right way and find some way to adjust the engine even lifting it with washers is something to pull it away and tighten the belt
