Any tips on adjusting the drive system? It’s all a bit worn. I’ve followed the book but just seems to want to slip or not clutch depending what i do.

Follow the book and then adjust the little 90 degree belt deflector doodad so that it will grab the belt and the big wheel will come to a stop when the pedal is depressed so as not to grind gears while shifting. You may find that there is a certain spot (1-7 notches) where shifting is a breeze. If so, make sure you are there when you shift. I gave deebig a heart because these units are notoriously persnickity, and worse with an old belt.

I could not get anywhere with my old belt. Dimensional, it looked fine but would not function without grinding the gears. I discovered if I sprayed water on the belt while it was running it would shift ok while wet! I bit the bullet and replaced the belt and it worked on the first  try with no adjustment needed.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
