Hello everyone. I have a question for the whizzer gurus here. I recently bought a 2007 NE5 and have put about 250 miles on it. I got it out of the garage this morning to ride it to work and noticed that the belt was slipping when I started it. As I was riding it was slowly losing speed and slipping like crazy. the belt is now barely sitting in the clutch pulley.
I am wondering whether the engine mounts somehow loosened up (they don't appear to be loose), or the belt has become stretched out. I rode it to the grocery store the night before and it worked perfect...so if it's stretched out
I wonder how it got like that so suddenly.
I just recently put a new drum brake on the back, originally it had a band brake that I burned through pretty quickly on our many hills here in Pa. To get the brake on I had to move the axle over about 1/4 of an inch. I was wondering if the belt is having problems because the main pulley is now out of alignment?
Has anyone else on here had this problem? I sure wish there was a whizzer dealer within 100 miles of my town!
Thanks.
