The other day I was driving home when I heard a sudden whine and the lost power. My engine stayed running but gasing it did nothing but rev the engine. So I replaced the belt. My engine won't idle but it will start and when I give it gas it hesitates, jumps and then stalls when I let off.

Pull the variator and make sure the weights didn't shift when you slid the inner pulley and ramp on the boss. Second, pull the clutch bell and inspect the pads, arms, and springs. Many times when a belt goes you have a catastrophic clutch failure.

Unfortunately I never looked at it before it was broke so I don't know what it's supposed to look like but nothing is obviously out of place. If I put on a new variator kit and a new clutch pulley bell assembly what are my chances of fixing this? I can buy both these parts cheaper than what it would cost me to get the lone repair shop to fix. Last time I had them fix something they told me a week to fix and they took three months...

You need to take the Variator off and check the weights in the ramps one or several can be sideways out of position.
Take the cvt cover off and take a picture of the CVT so we can see how the belt is sitting in the Variator and the Clutch pulley.

Agreed. You should also peruse the CVT section of the Library to get an idea of what things are supposed to look like.....it's free.

Even if you can buy cheaper than the repair shop you are going to have to put the parts in the variator correctly just the same as the shop would do. |

Just took the front pulley off and looked at the weights. I think one of them was sideways but the plates shifted due to my negligent grasp when pulling it off so I can't be sure. They look like they have seen better days. A few have slight flat spots.

Also I put a 842 20 30 belt on it. It is a PITA getting it back on and I have the front pulley off. I have a 2013 Jonway ballistic 157qmj which I believe is the long crank. Still working on posting pics.

After reading the cvt basics and various other posts in the cvt section. I figured out that on top of the rollers being bad I put the belt on incorrectly. Once I took the back pulley off. I pinched the plats apart and set the belt as deep as possible, then put it back on. The. I took the rear half plate of the front pulley assembly on and put the belt directly on the shaft, then impacted the front half plate on. And voila sounds better. Unfortunately due to typical fl weather I can't ride it...13 inches of rain in two days. Jetski-ing on my scooter only sounds fun.
