Hooch breaks a belt...

[joedrum]

Need timing part number ..to get one at parts store quick having trouble finding it bike on side of road

 

[joedrum]

1200 belts part number

 

[joedrum]

Ok pretty much got the numbers ... hope I can find one ..will be belt job on side of road LOL

 

[pidjones]

Best of luck on this. Not a good side-of-road thing, and finding the belts on a Sunday....

 

[joedrum]

Found one belt only ...couldn’t get the pulley on right on right ..one tooth off ...couldn’t loosen the belt tensioner pulley lose at all ...was able to force it on but one tooth off ...I’m thinking that 9 degrees off in timing ..nothing was hitting ..try to start it ..it tried to start but no no ...belt that broke was on ignition side ...it also broke while backing off throttle ...I heard nothing hit ...bike like died ..I tried starting it could while cranking it ..it wasn’t acting no noise though ..then noticed the belt was broke ...I’m hoping if I get the one old belt on right it will run ...but that belt is in rough shape now also from forcing it on like I did ...bike still on side of road ....sheesh ...got dark had to give up ..

 

[joedrum]

Well worse fears realized ...went over to bike this morning ...got the belt on right on the non ignition side bike started but the ignition side head obviously not firing I’m sure bent valves ...my my my now to find a way to get it home ...sheesh ain’t life grand ...anyone got a 1000 or 1100 left head

What happened, Joe?

Old belts?

 

[joedrum]

Yes I’m sure there old ...you know me ..I have no money to do things properly.....also the bike has no belt covers on it ...and as it is I have no place to keep bike inside ..so in this fla weather maybe these conditions are just to much on belts ....I looked them all the time ..they seemed fine ...but this bike is way different than stock as we know ...many times at low speed the bike would bark the tire at times backing off the throttle ...the belt broke when I i was off the throttle fixing to make a turn ...

Joe, get yourself some new belts, there not that expensive and it will save you a lot of trouble.

Couldn’t rent a trailer ...so rigged up bike carrier out of part of a reach hitch hoveround carrier...got the tire off the ground 1” or less and bought it home ..bike is still as it was when pulled ...nice rig job and it worked ...

To bad your so far, I have belts for the 1200 that I have that i'm not using. That is rare for a belt to snap unless in really bad shape or something locked for a second and snap.

Wish I still had the contacts I used to have, I could have bargained for a whole motor for you...
If you can, pm me your particulars and I can ask a few people for any bits you need...

Flash it seems this motor I’ve put together is a monster of power ...best I can tell ..I had to jog down the hiway not far coming off one road and then turning at another one ...I hit the gas rather good and when I backed off it to turn is when I think the belt broke ...It was on the ignition side so when I got to where I wanted a bit of throttle again I had nothing ...does look like it snapped clean ..I seen no wear spot or bad place...I heard nothing like something got stuck ....but I don’t hear that well either

It’s hot as crap today ...won’t take me long to find out what I’m up against daeouse thanks
