Once it starts spinning (upto 6500 RPM) all bets are off - there have been people whose belts have jumped the sidewall because of slight misalignments.slinkymx3 wrote:i tightened the belt and tried to slide it off the pulley and it barely moved if any. so i believe it should work..i dont know where to get a slotted pulley like that one.
x2 I wouldn't leave it like that... you are asking for trouble!shameem wrote:Once it starts spinning (upto 6500 RPM) all bets are off - there have been people whose belts have jumped the sidewall because of slight misalignments.
umm how would that idler work there are no grooves for the belt either...shameem wrote:Once it starts spinning (upto 6500 RPM) all bets are off - there have been people whose belts have jumped the sidewall because of slight misalignments.slinkymx3 wrote:i tightened the belt and tried to slide it off the pulley and it barely moved if any. so i believe it should work..i dont know where to get a slotted pulley like that one.
Here's a recent one -

The idler pulley from a mx6 might work -
or you can just leave the pump in there with the lines disconnected - you can even open up the pump and gut the interior.....
Also dont forget to loop the rack lines....
ok so i'll do the rack loop..sounds easy cut the lines add a loop n clamp it in....shameem wrote:There are no grooves - but there is a sidewall.... Also i think you can replace the tensioner pulley with a grooved pulley - loop the belt around it and not have any extra pulleys at all.....
For the rack - I think you need to have fluid in there to keep it lubricated and prevent it from locking up. If you have fluid in there it has to "flow" (basic hydraulics) - hence loop the rack lines. Or you can switch to a manual rack from a 323 or something...
