Default shorter belt

I have a 79 ez go marathon and was wondering if there is a shorter belt I could buy for more power? I'm assuming if your clutch is wore out this will usually tear the belt up and/or your clutch?

Default Re: shorter belt

The shorter belt will not give you more power, it just lowers the final drive ratio and gives you better acceleration and hill climbing ability. Your belt should be 46 inches long and 1 3/16ths wide. If it is at all worn it will be too narrow. I suggest that you measure the width and if it is down to 1 1/16 inch, replace it with a new standard belt. If you really want to try the shorter belt then the Dayco HP3004 comes in at 45 1/8th.

However as you already know, if your driven clutch is not up to it you will tip it over the edge and achieve nothing other than misery, squalor and degradation.
