GS Moon 150 Drive Belt Change- help please!

Hi all

I am replacing a shredded drive belt in my GS Moon 150. I have the crankcase open and the old belt off, but my first attempt to fit the new belt resulted in the engine barely ticking over. Apparently I did not install it correctly. Can anyone out there give me some guidance as to how the belt should be fitted?

Thanks!

when you removed the fan side of the variatore was the belt really hard to slide over the pin

Thanks for your reply. I did't emove the fan disk. I fitted the new belt by separating the disks on the clutch and pushing the belt down into the groove as far as possible. I then was able to feed the belt over the fan disk and into the front groove without removing the fan disk. I assumend that as soon as the engine was turned, the belt ould assume the correct position. Apparently, this is wrong.

I have now been told to remove te fan disk- but I dont know where the belt should be seated before I put the fan disk back on, or how to do so.

remove the fan, remove the belt, put the belt in the clutch pulley only about an 1/8 inch. put the belt on the out put shaft and roll it on to the pin.

Thnks for the info, guys. your advice and the video link are a great help. I'm going to get an impact wrench tomorrow!

Now does anyone have an idea as to why the engine dies immediately when you advance the throttle?

Tanks again Guys, all is now back together and running well.

The CVT rollers had indeed turned sideways, but they went back in just fine.

Happy hunting!
