Ok this is dumb I just got a new belt and it's already getting tore up between the teeth and backing material. I think that it can't take the power or the spring on the tensioner is too worn out. But still it's only 49cc 2 stroke it shouldn't tear a new belt. The more I mess with this the more I want to just get rid of all of it and never mess with it again. The drive ring has sections with no teeth I believe this is purposely so it tears the belt with a bigger motor. I hear a noise that goes scrape scrape of course with more friction coming from the back side of the belt after it rotates past the ring. The spring is noticeably weaker than when I first put it on and have observed the tensioner being pushed as it makes the scrape noise. I wonder if chain drive is possible just take the gear off the clutch and attach a sprocket. It went pretty fast nearly 40 id guess. Noticeably faster than the subaru but the thing shakes like crazy and is coldblooded. I know I'll probably just toss that spring and try selling the bike just not enjoyable.
