Afternoon Boys, I'm tryin to take my clutch cover off to check the clutch pads. I have 2 questions. 1. Is there a bolt where my finger is pointed too, behind the air filter thingy? If there is,, how do I get to it??  2. do I need to take the pull start off?  |

Looking good just a little wear on the belt is what that black stuff is clean her up and slap the cover back on or you can take the Variator off and check out the weights and guides. Nothing will pop off no springs or nothing just take the nut off the clutch and pull the bell off. If you see the clutch pads glazed you can sand the glaze off the pads. The Variator if you take it off MAKE SURE you grab it from the back and hold the back pulley and back plate as one piece otherwise the weights in the variator may get sideways.  Alleyoop |

Any secret in getting the nut off or just use an impact? Is it left handed?

Impact works the best LEFTY LOOSEN on both variator and clutch nuts.

When I get it off I;ll post some pictures and see what you think. I'm really not sure I need to take it apart. It MIGHT be slipping and it might not be. It's one of those calls. I know when I give it some throttle the front end's not supposed to come off the ground, but when I just take off, I get high RPM's (62**). They stay there till I pick up speed. It doesn't jump up and down. It's kinda hard to explain. I'm just not sure on this one. A 150 don't have the power like my Chevy does to know for sure.

If you open the throttle the rpms should climb to around 6 or so K and the scoot starts to pick up speed once the belt gets to the max on the variator the RPMS should start to climb higher.
But if you give it throttle and the rpms climb and it is not gaining any speed then something is slipping in the cvt.

That's what it does. I guess I'm ok then.
Normally, on my gear, I watch the rpm's and the speedometer go up and the gas Gauge go down. I'm just not use to 150cc yet, but I'm learning.
Again,, thanks.
On a side note, We have rode this into town twice now. The storage under the seat is great. We take the back roads through the hollers and really enjoy this trike. A few people come up and ask about it, there's nothing negative I can say about it. With this sites help I got the bugs worked out and it's a blast to ride. I'll be 68 in a few months and the wife will be 64, ( I like younger women) everybody waves and smiles at us. All in all, this trike is just fun.

One more question before I button it up. Is this normal? Watch the chain move and listen to the noise it makes. Is that tranny slop? If it's normal then that answers a lot of questions that I don't have to worry about.  (Click on picture) |

Interesting,
As I was bolting the cover back on I found that the 2 bolts and spacers that hold the pull start cover on the main cover are different sizes, bout 1/8 diff. Now they both slide right in if you put the longer set on the bottom. But,, that leaves you with a gap on the bottom of the pull start cover which will let in water and dirt. So, if you pull the top of the cover out a lil and slid the larger set in the top and the shorter in the bottom, then tighten the bottom one first it closes up the gap. Then tighten the top one and it's a good fit. Only took me 3 try's to figure that one out.
