Today I was riding a friends 500 touring f/c , And after 1/2 hour of trail riding i had a chance to try it out. Wow 65 mph andthen when I slowed so did the motor and when I stopped so did the motor. The belt is close to the top of the tra faces and wont go down. I can't get the belt off.
I havent taken off the tra yet, but it wont close.
Any Ideas, Maybe broken spring??
A couple things come to mind. Pull the bolt out of the clutch and see if the sheave retracts. My guess is the 3 bolts holding the spring cup have backed out durring operation. This will keep the movable sheave from returning to it's retracted state.
When I was looking at it today the three bolts looked good, I was looking to see if the spring might be broken but I can't tell.
I can see that the arms are straight up and down. I put my finger in and it seems like the rollers are past the curved part of the ramps... I'll try to pull the clutch tomorrow.
Thanks Rodney
A similar thing happened to a friend while we were in Quebec. All of his cotter pins broke and all of the pins and rollers fell out. One arm had broken also. The clutch jammed in the engaged position. good luck ronzx9.
I have an early 1970s Bombardier Ski-Doo single cylinder. I need to lower the primary clutch engagement rpm. What spring and weights would make it possible to lower the engagement of the primary clutch. Thanks for any knowledge you can send my way... Chevysteve.

Besides being quick,and fast it doesn't lag and handled well. So I...
Hello
My snowmobile is skidoo Formula MX XTC, model year 1995. My skidoo front light work poorly (only 3 volts given) and i was wondering where is the battery located? Or does this skidoo have battery at all? Engine is rotax 467. Anyway there is something wrong with electrics.
I ride a 2001 ski doo touring 500fan, and over the past year have spent a lot of time fixing issues with it (it was sitting unprotected in a backyard for 5 years). I cleaned the carbs, fixed some electrical contact issues, and redid much of the fuel system. It used to bog down when I went past...

Can my rotor be warped causing this brake up?
Thanks in advance
