Oh yeah when i tightened the clutch housing bolt when i found out it wasnt coming off i used a screwdriver to hold it while i tightened the nut, would that hurt anything? I looked were i was putting the screwdriver and it wasnt on nothing but the housing.

 

How do i adjust the belt tension? Sorry ya'll but i am new to the belt drive 4x4 quad thing.

 

Waiting on a response so i can see if i can fix it tonight, am i the only one that dont sleep good when stuff like this goes down?

 

adjusting the belt tension requires you to have a service manual handy. too complicated to explain here. maybe someone can help with that. what i do know is that it requires the adding and removing of shims and even motor mount adjusting

 

I dont have a service manual, anybody feel like walking me through it feel free, i really wanna get it fixed.

 

the new belt is the correct one right? correct part no. as the one you took off huh? gee dude i have the service manual in front of me and its a whopper of a job. its removing the drive clutch and driven clutch to add or remove shims (spacers). even motor mount loosening too

 

Well i guess it is the right belt i had to drive 200 miles round trip today to get it, looked like the old belt basically except the groves on the outside of the belt were kinda diff. I told them what i needed and that is what they handed me.

 

receipt says the part number is pol3211091 I have a 02 sportsman 700 with ebs any way to check and see if that is the right belt?

 

i just checked the part number for ya. and it is correct for your model. the belt has that part number on it huh? part # 3211091

 

I just took it for a little spin around my neighborhood, in low the thing pulls perfect. But when i put it in high it is like the motor is reving high but the fourwheeler isnt pulling like it should. It feels worse than before, man this blows.If anybody has any suggestions on a fix let me know i will be up late and probably tear it apart again.Thanks for all the help.
