You feel like you're in the circus untill you get used to it. It's like riding around on a messed up three wheeler.I've been sitting here thinkingAbout a sidecar for the rollfast build!!! Make it just like a motorcycle sidecar, with the attachment & pivot points. Has any of you ever rode a motorcycle with a sidecar? What's it like? Know it's got to be squirrelly riding?
Lmao I got on a buddies 3speed trike the other day & flipped it 3 times on its side, b4 I got out of his yard. 4got you cant lean into the corner on the trike.
Cannonball3 on your torque convertor, you said your running a 7"driven pulley with a 669 belt. The Bravex torque convertor I bought is 6"driven pulley with a 669 belt. I fight to get a belt on with or without a bushing, My question is what is going on? Shouldn't your 7" driven model torque converter be using a longer belt. I put a Comet brand 203589 on mine & it cured mine/looks & feels right now. I havent done a top speed run to verify I gained or lost speed. The Comet 203589 belt, is what came on/with a true Comet 30 series torque convertor. The only thing I can come up with/or think of, is that center to center spacing on pulleys is different from your predator & my flathead briggs.
Well tuned & played around some more on Rollfast today, the 203589 belt was only thing changed parts wise & I added a gusset/brace to my idler pulley bracket. Well top speed was 48mph still, plus it was 3 times as windy today, So i dont think it's a fair comparison. But my vibration went away & i mean almost all vibrations. Plus my oil leak at the crank seal quit! Lol it's got oil! I checked! So my thoughts are my original belt was just a little too short, causing it to flex the crankshaft of engine & the View attachment 175580View attachment 175581backing plate of torque convertor when under a hard pull. It's so much nicer to ride now, that the concrete vibrator is gone.
Have you ever used a rubber type drive belt on your Whizzer, instead of the kevlar belt? I'm curious if the rubber type belt might grab better? It seems to me with my kevlar belt I got to warm it up/slip the pulleys/belt for a bit. Then it starts to bite/hold better. It's like you got to do a couple big water box burn outs!!!
