It could happen to anyone, it also happened to me once after a totally new setup, I thought because of the loud noise that something was wrong with the piston, but was happy to find that it was just the nut on the variator. That fixed it and drove fine again.
I've saved a variator with ruined posts. A buddy's engineer buddy carefully welded the posts up, and I filed them up flat and straight by hand. And it actually worked (did a few 100 KMs on it before replacing, and it looked fine when I replaced it).
The power band is between 75 and 8500 I was pulling at 7000. I'm well versed in tuning these, my rpms were a bit low. I'm not one of these jackasses overreving at 10 and 11k. Thanks for reminding me that my scooter is not a hemi.

Hell yeah.. this is a ~20$ variator so I wouldn't put that much effort in. But that is pretty cool!
@@scooterarmy It was a performance one (and I hadn't yet discovered how cheap knock-offs of it were :lol: ).
A at least you didn't mess the crank up.
Love the shades, matches the scoot lmao
yee yee
The dollar gentral is out of purgatory ‼️
Did you see it :( ... fortunately I had a 95mm oversized variator too. Installed that and she's ripping. Now for a little tlc
Damn you were supposed to hit the nail not your thumbnail 👍🏾😂
Well that sucks. On all of the 50cc gy6s I've worked on the bendix could be taken out and put back in without touching the variator nut.
Me too usually.. this one was not the case..almost , maybe with some violence lol
I keep hearing get the revs up. It's not a Hemi. Middle ground is the wau

Properly tuning the cvt is the way to go.
@@scooterarmy true. It's timing an CVT an air an fuel an gearing
@@scooterarmy how did you get the rpm up sir?
@@seanmayo206 slightly lighter weights.. I didn't need to change it much . I like to be at about 84, 8500
How did you fuck up the crank?
Pull up a chair and tell ya a story. A story of a humble man, a man that celebrates his successes and learns from his mistakes.. mistakes were made.
Lemme see a video where ncy made the variator
What?
Exactly
