Project REDRUM! (Its getting mesy already) By Gti (Read 497 times)

I recently purchased another engine kit to try and build again (yeah I know I am glutton for punishment.) I have another 63mm kit with a +2.2mm crank. Well my problem is with the Variator. I can not get the drive plate to fit on this crank. I am not sure why but for some reason it will not fit, the drive face just spins without going down far enough to meet the splines on the crank. Included are some pics. Not sure how much help they will be though.

From the looks of it you maybe got the wrong CRANK to tell you the truth. The splines on the crank are not the same as on the Fan Pulley. Either that or maybe some splines on the crank are bent.

Something is NOT RIGHT that BOSS looks awefully short TO MUCH OF THE SPLINES are showing past the BOSS. Normally the Fan just butts up to the BOSS and MAYBE a Washer is needed so the Variator NUT does not TIGHTEN on the Splines of the Crank and NOT on the Fan pulley. With yours if the Fan does fit the splines I would say at least 1/4 of an inch of splines will be protruding past the Fan plate.

Where did you get the crank from, put up the link for that crank.
ALSO Where did you get the bored out cases.

And Put the CASE HALFS TOGETHER AND TAKE PICTURES OF THE BORED OUT CASE So we can see how it was bored out.

Hey Alley, I have the thing slapped together all the way to that point and I am thinking that the variator itself is off. I got the case and everything from parts4scooters. www.partsforscooters.com/180cc_kit_gy6

I got the crank from
enviromoto.ecrater.com/p/6362994/22mm-stroker-crank-gy6-150cc

Everything went fine until this point and I am at a total loss right now and I hipe that I can get something going pretty soon.

What did that Variator come off of? Is it a GY6 Variator?

It actually is a 150cc variator, I ordered a new one today with the shaft and I hope this works. I took the old crank and placed the entire assembly on it. Meaning kick start gear, and variator assembly and I have the exact same issue with the clearance.
