OK, I've gone through the carb...cleaned everything, new fuel filter, rejetted, and yet I'm experiencing sluggish performance off the line. Once I get up and go, she'll hit about 45, but it takes me a block and 1/2 to get there.

It's IMPOSSIBLE to spin the tires in the dirt, and won't climb a 30° incline without a running start. Shouldn't this buggy be able to climb (slowly) pretty much anything i throw at it?

I'm thinking the belt may be dry-rotted or something, as I can hear it slip, and smell rubber a bit if I try too many hard take-offs.

I'm apprehensive to remove the CVT cover since I've never done it with a shaft drive buggy before. I assume I need to remove the a-arms and all at the same time? I wonder if a new belt and some rollers may cure it?

Check out some of Simsim44's posts. He has a buggy similar to what you are describing and has down some pretty extensive work on it. I know he has a thread on here somewhere about replacing the rollers.
