Key West Belt Blown

[RandyChravis]

Hello all,

New to the forum and I just had my belt blow into a million pieces, the odometer is almost at 10k (not sure if miles or km, but it's due)

Any luck sourcing a drive belt for this bike? I've been looking around and I can't seem to cross any of the TGB part #'s to Dayco or Gates here in the US.

Also I noticed the rollers seemed to have a few flat spots on them. I put them on my scale and they read 10gr but when I put them all on at the same time they average out to 9gr

Thanks!

bummer Josh ..
 the TGB's odometer reads miles... 8k is the max i would
 ever let any of my customers scooters go or you risk a shredded belt
anyway you should measure the width starting at around 4k and see if its 1mm
 smaller than stock if so replace otherwise you wont get top speed because the belt
stops riding high in the variator
 the weights need to be replaced when they get flat spots too anyway round rollers
are old tech you should use sliders

i have one genuine TGB  belt left and maybe? some sliders
 but right now paypal is having issues and i am not selling any parts until
we reopen the first of july as said in my email to you
due to the covid-19 all shipments to US are by slow boat shipments

Thanks for the info Harry,

I know this was way overdue of a belt for sure! I can see the rubber marking on the variator are about 2 mm from the top of the sheave. I do have new rollers which will be here tomorrow as well.

One question I do have is the little rubber guides shown in the diagram below were completely missing, I did not lose them in disassembly, it looks like they were never there to start with, are they critical at all?

Also, My dad at one time said he cut a brown wire to derestrict the CDI. I'm not sure how true this is but after he did that the scooter ran very lean and would stall out if the throttle was fully opened. It ran fine before. I put in 67.5 main and that solved the top end, I'm just wondering if that is maybe a touch rich? The plug is a yellowish brown. I do have a 65 main on hand, but that may be a project for a different day.

chocolate brown on the plug  you can also check the temp of
the gasses coming out of the  tail pipe 950F or so
