    Yea, funny name but quite a trip to ride around the yard. These are in no way a fun machine on the trails. Trails with any bumps will beat the living heck out of you. They can be fun on ice as well. LOL

    your best bet for the belt is take a sewing tape measure as it is flexible and wrap it around the pulleys to find your length, and then measure about half way down the centrifugal pulley on the motor to find the width take those measurements to a local auto parts store, and see if they can help you.

    Welcome to the site from midlle TN. And like muthey said just take the tape measure around both pulleys and goto local auto parts most have belt guages that they can match up with what they have in stock. by the pulley on the motor it looks like just a normal V belt.

    Ok guys, so after getting a different 5hp briggs on this thing, and getting a belt from carquest, i decided to take it for a spin. im ppretty sure the belt is very close to the right one, but definately isnt perfect because it sits a bit low in the secondary. the bike tops out at about 10 to 15mph, and it revs out because the secondary clutch is so worn out it isnt shifting properly.

    i found comet clutches on ebay for cheap. round 100 bucks for 2

    i will post some pics of progress this afternoon

    just some quick searches I did. I would think a lawnmower drive belt would be sufficient, best suggestion is to try calling one of the bigger suppliers and giving them dimensions on what you need and seeing if they have something relatively close. also welcome to the boards, theres a few guys around with these and they actually look like fun to cruise around !
