do you have the belt tensioner? the roller? and is the primary vented?? what do you have for hub rollers? any clutch tamer?
I have vented covers and clutch tamer. My original set up didn't have a belt tensioner. It is adjusted by loosening inner primary and trans. Pry bar hole in cover to slide back and forth
