My sportsman has destroyed 2 belts , one a new dayco and a polaris one , I think the clutches might need to be realined , what yall think ?

 

How is it destroying them? Is it shredding them or putting burnt spots on it.

 

Check your vent tubes for restrictions such as mouse nests.

 

they have burn marks and its making the strands come off . i checked and no nests but thanks !

 

yes clutch alignment is definitely in order.

if it happend all of a sudden, you might check your clutch components,(clutch buttons and helix) to make sure of proper function, and check your motor or tranny mounts. if the motor or tranny are shifting under load, this will cause misalignment too.

thanks , i will deffintaly get them alined and check all the mounts !

 

your belt might be too tight, you may need to add a shim to the driven clutch to loosen things up a little. check your belt defflection.

 

Yeah that sounds like a good idea to because its been happening ever since the belt would not disengauge , I could come to a stop and it would start to take off again , so I pulled the belt after it fliped over and put a new one on and a new belt houseing and seem to have destroyed both again ! SO ill definitly check that to , thank yo8u all for the help , TBGUY250
