I have a vintage Whizzer H engine on a Columbia frame. I am having trouble getting the belts to slip when I pull the clutch handle to loosen the belts. I am wondering if both belts should slip, or maybe just the rear belt? Even though I am using the complete travel of the handle, the engine still stalls when I apply the brake while the bike is on the stand running.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
 
The small belt will slip at the flywheel. If new belt you will need to get it broke in.


I was looking at your photo. I think you have too much slack in cable. Mine the cable run under the bottom of the frame. It help to take up the slack.
