Slider weights... By Jon C (Read 898 times)

I'm not sure how to install them? There is a pointy side, and all the other sides are flat.

I've had some trouble with regular roller weights going flat on one side, so I thought I'd try the sliders from ScrappyDog. I did put them in a couple of ways, but it doesn't seem right.

Am I ok using my stock variator, or do I need one that is built for slider weights?

Thanks,

Jon

I've got around 5500 China miles on my Hunter style 150 scooter.

Here's a diagram showing the orientation of the slider weights:

These weights work perfectly with the original variator. I'm using them in both my scoots.

Doesn't that turn them into a slider? Hey Jon, glad to see you're still bumping around the forum. Rich

Thanks Cruiser, that helps. I've got them in wrong.

Hi Rich, thanks. My scooter has been running great for a while now....knock on wood.

You're welcome, Jon.

OK, Rich, now you let the cat out of the bag. I guess we should expose one of the Scooda Tuna's best kept secrets. You have to flip the flat spotted rollers over one time to form a second flat spot and then they are sliders.
