Busted two variators???? By atlfotos (Read 381 times)

I have a question for the scooter jedi in the group...

I have busted two variators on my Roketta 250-B. The first one some how unscrewed the nut and stripped out the spline on the face plate. I kind'a get that one. The second one just seemed to strip the spline on the face plate. When I took off the cover the nut was still tight on the shaft? The belt was all chew to heck too. I am not sure if the belt was missing teeth when I replaced the first variator but it is missing quite a few teeth now.

Is the anything I need to be aware of when I replace the variator and belt?

Looking forward to your replies.

Thanks...

I bet it was cause when nut came lose the first time just wasn't noticed when assemble.

I'd be checking the shaft the variator mounts on for runout
