Something don't look right..... You got the belt on in the right direction? Is that a 30 or 40 series tc?

I wish I could tell you.. im very new to this. is there any other angles I could take to give you a better idea ?

Post a shot of the whole set up.... Drive and driven...including rear sprocket. I normally see /use the green spring, but you got a yellow one. I know something is telling me, "that's a no no... " , but I'm not seeing it.....

I would not be surprised if the spring is the issue. it didnt act funny until that was put in

I don't think that's the right spring. I don't think it its wound in the right direction. That might be a reversed spring..... Wouldn't work if it is.....
Look at the old spring. Is it wound up the same direction? Hold it next to the clutch, for visual comparison.....

would this be a suitable replacement with the power I want for my large kart?

i agree with jim, the button is riding on wrong side of bevel on driven, letting the clutch/belt open it all the way with little resistance, reverse wound spring? or installed incorrectly

ok so I was just looking around at new driven pulleys , and came across this ...

maybe he put a reverse wound for a 40 in there? but why would he do that lol

Only way to tell 100% FORSURE is take the driven apart down to the spring and do the 'preload' process... if the spring is tightening when turned counter clock wise its the proper spring as far as the direction of the wind... if the spring 'loosens' when the preload is done counter clock wise, then you have the wrong spring for a 30 TAV. Spring wind direction and colors are kinda confusing to 'say' nonetheless, let alone figure out. Either way... your gonna have to take the Driven apart anyways...

This is the preload process w/ a normal/stock TAV2 (which it appears what you have)...

DeathMachine, I know you're new here, but I figured with all the reading you have done, you'd know by better by now...... DONT give these guys too many ideas. Especially like this one...... ! Now I gotta find me a v-6......

If you are going to go all out, go all out and use a 500 inch Caddy engine.
