Think it’s an old harbor freight doodle bug clone? What I was told anyway. HF orange under the black spray paint anyway.
Non-hemi 212, mod2 cam, 160 head, .010HG, flywheel, header, jetted stock carb, wheelie bar, slick with a 75t. 12t on converter. I was worried about PTV with the 1.3 rocker and 160x head, Should I not be? Id like to run 1.3 rockers… actually have a set. Also seems to run better without the muffler. It’s a large scooter muffler 1.5” straight through design. Not sure why it seems to slow it down. Sounds great.
I honestly don’t think it’s a power issue. We are all pretty similar power wise. I believe it’s slipping. If I clean the sheaves well with alcohol it doesn’t slip near as much the first pass or 2. As the day goes on it gets worse. TONS of belt dust. Believe they are only rated for 7hp or so?
I ordered the comet clone 40 series driver pulley and dual sided belt to try. I’m just curious if it will work. I have a ¾ to 1” shaft adapter as pictured above as well. It the belt didn’t slip up top I think I’d be too far out front to catch by 300ft as it sits now. trying to keep it reasonable part wise are the polar units similar to the cheetah?
I have a new cheetah dual disc clutch sitting here. I just feel the torque converter has the advantage off the line assuming it didn’t slip up top. I know you give up some power but for a 300ft race I think it’s worth the extra off the line performance.
Thank you for the interest!
