Great video. The clutch is cowed when off but theRe is much more space between the pulley and cover so I can see the spring. But it works the same but the belt flaps more. Thanks for all the great help also.

what does closed look like? when its off the belt is against the wheel and the clutch bell cover is at its furthest distance from the belt.

it fills the slot, if its running themoves to about an inch from the bell cover on the clutch otherwise when its off its against the wheel, it never moves to contact the bell just moves maybe an inch or so toward it when throttled up.. the variator side opens and closes too.

ok if i squeez the belt on the top and bottom i can bring them to within an inch of each other, and when i have it running the belt kinda flaps about. I'm guessing that its either stretched or the wrong belt, as i bought it used and had to do some work on it anyway.

knocking is when its on the center stand and idleing, more so when i give it throttle, the wheel doesnt move from side to side it's nice and tight, no bearing play either. I'll pull the cover and look at the belt, is there a way to tell if its stretched?

I'm new to the 250 scooters and picked up a mc-54-250b for a great price. I thought it needed an exhaust gasket because it sounded like it had a leak at the head, so i made one out of a metal manifold gasket. It is a little narrower inside the pipe but matches out side, anyway I installed it and I still have the same VW bug sound, any ideas on what would cause this?
