If he is going to use the jack shaft with the cvt that would be great. I understood he was just using sprockets and chain with the jack shaft. Sorry if I misunderstood.

I could be wrong, But that's what I thought he was going to do.

If not, your totally correct.

The bike and atv swappers have transmissions but the snowmobile only has the cvt. Look on the snowmobile sites for tons of info. I did a lot of reading before doing my 440 cc snowmobile engine into the harley cart. I finally ended up with a retuned snowmobile primary with the stock harley cart's secondary.

I'm guessing with your set up, You come out of the hole very good. But top is about 35-40???

It can smoke the tires and top speed is more like 30-35. Untested I might add.

Ok now we are getting somewhere. I am using both systems. Primary snowmobile clutch mounted to motor with belt to snowmobile driven clutch that is mounted to a jack shaft. On that same jack shaft there will be a sprocket with a chain to a larger sprocket mounted to the axle with. Will this work?

[raydhd]

Yes that sounds great. Glad you have the space for that. I would love to gear Suzi up more but things are already very tight.

What size tires are you running?

[raydhd]

20's are all I could fit without doing some kind of lift. I have 24's on my VC 460 powered yamaha G14 which is lifted 4" s

I will be running 22's. I learned the hard way that the secondary mounted directly to the axle doesn't work hens the jack shaft idea. I will move the motor forward enough for the secondary to clear the axle and mount a jack shaft. Will my future set up work. 13T/60T sprockets.
