I would like a "dual range" cvt, similar to the dual range transmissions in the smaller Hondas and Kawasakis in the 1970s. It would allow the rider to easily choose between one final drive ratio for acceleration when squirting around town, and a higher final drive ratio for the open road. If you hook that idler pulley to a lever and provide movement in and out with a cable and spring you can have just that I think that's how I will connect mine |

That is not what you said
if you had said that model engine will overheat without a cooling shroud and fan. I would be happier. But instead you make it seem like I don't know what I am talking about.
Then give EXACTLY the the same advice I did but with an
OR ELSE.
Instead of bashing my post try to offer something useful.
You say you know what model engine that is?
I don't but if you do maybe provide a link to a fan and a shroud?
If you quote someone you are talking to them. Don't insult your intelligence to pretend otherwise. Just like you know I am talking to you even without a quote

Ok so this is a pulley I bought to do the very thing I am talking about. It was $10 to my door from Amazon. the bigger the pulley the less it will wear on your belt. But much bigger than this and I think it will become difficult to mount.  This as you can probably tell is the clutch pulley. The dark shiny zone is where my belt rides. The lighter gray is unused. I have an over range pulley and you can see their is still 30% more  I am holding the pulley just about where it will be when it's installed. If you have your belt cover on it will need to be cut but I think it would actually be easier that way. I still need to decide how I am going to do it.  |

My question is ...can they make a larger diameter clutch for top end instead of a fast launch? Almost like changing the rear gear with out having to do so gear wise but clutch size. Even if it is just 10mm-15mm may give you a taller run out and increase top speed while staying stock on the motor. Most scooters are fast out of the hole and seem to only gain a few seconds of launch time for the price. I prefer to not strain the motor and lower the rpm to rum at speed.(Better for longevity) Heedehcheenuh Chuck D Ride on..... A gy6 clutch pulley has a lot of space left to open up even when an over range variator is maxed out You can get a slightly shorter belt that is an easy way to get higher ratio but it's noticeably slower on take off Another thing you can do is add an idler pulley right behind and under the variator. Set the pulley to just touch at idle. This will give the variator more belt wrap in high ratios. It will pull the belt farther into the clutch pulley. It will cost a little bit of belt life though I will go take some pictures to show what I am talking about. And post em in a little bit |

Why the heck are you telling ME this ?
It's a repeat of what I just said but with splody doom
How many nuns is it going to kill ?!?
Ahhhhhhh!
Most two stroke mopeds have neither cooling fan or shroud
And most of them are also more than twenty years old.
And while SOME of them may have over heated over the years and years without fans and shrouds . It was most likely poor maintenance and or muddy or oil clogged fins.

I don't think that's made in America it looks identical down to the same mold marks and spru hole of a koso,
And is die cast not CNC a family machine shop is not going to be running a die casting operation as part of a scooter shop
Die cast parts are extremely expensive to set up
Far more likely is that it's from China or heck maybe even Taiwan it looks pretty good otherwise

I would like to have a variator with steel parts
cast aluminum gets grooves and pits so fast
Or at least a variator made in America
cut out of good strong 6160 anodized and heat treated. I also have no use for the fan on the face plate.

To degrease a belt... plane old dish soap and hot water
The entire variator should be replaced every other belt
Its $15 same as The belt
The steel boss, bronze bushing, aluminum pulley faces, aluminum slide ramps, plastic slide bushings, aluminum slide bosses and steel cam plate all are exposed to carbon dust and aluminum oxide.
This is an abrasive and polishes grooves flat spots and slop.
The steel parts can be reused but you get new ones with the new variator. So you might as well have fresh parts.

It's a taxi ?!
First thing I would do is strip it down and clean it up
It seems to be missing a fan and a cooling shroud your going to want to have those unless you're going run with no body plastic
A two stroke 50cc is the equivalent of a 90cc four stroke so it won't be as slow as you're thinking

If you want I have a plan for a reasonably cheap and very quiet
DIY muffler no welding needed.
