is the belt tight? might have s roller out of place not letting the primary close

i have a jbs sheave and it was all the way in im pretty positive anyway. the splines came right out to so im sure it was right
James thinks the same i have an od weight in wrong, cant understand how i did that but ill take it back apart tonight.
If you don't keep the cam plate tight against the rollers during install, they can fall out and cause the issue you're seeing. It should ride right to the top!
On a side note... I changed my UTV Inc spring (purple and white) to an EPI orange, and I couldn't be happier. The purple/white spring is barely stronger than stock and doesn't do much, especially with any mods.

they can fall out pretty easy when installing, you really gotta keep pressure on the cam plate an sheave.
glad I got my JBS in correct and dont have to mess with it anymore...James and I agreed all these horror stories on sheaves makes us nervous. LOL
tonight will tell im taking it back apart HOPEFULLY thats what it is.
99.9% of the "horror" stories are due to improper installation.glad I got my JBS in correct and dont have to mess with it anymore...James and I agreed all these horror stories on sheaves makes us nervous. LOL
I agree ive had it apart alot my son had it apart and together before i got back so i didnt give it a second look even though the belt didnt seem right (dumb me) im thinking he may have not kept it tight together.99.9% of the "horror" stories are due to improper installation.glad I got my JBS in correct and dont have to mess with it anymore...James and I agreed all these horror stories on sheaves makes us nervous.

It cannot be the secondary spring...
The problem has to be the belt is not low enough on the primary sheave...
Only two ways that happens...one is there is a lip on the fixed half of the primary sheave that is stopping the belt from dropping to it's lowest point...the other is the cam plate is not sitting down all the way onto the sheave hub/seal...
The only thing that would stop the cam plate from sitting all the way down on the seal is an od weight in wrong...or the cam plate wedged for some strange reason...
I assume you took the primary off to change the secondary spring...my guess is same as most above...weight got displaced during assembly...
When you take the outer cover off...rev it in neutral to the rev limiter and if the belt doesn't rise up all the way to top of sheave and then some the weights are displaced...
Also look at the holes in the cam plate and see if there is a gap between the plate and the sheave hub...should not be a gap...

Guys sorry i didnt rev it high enough it was at the top when i took it back apart! i Know this has been beat to death but on a pretty stock rhino is there any gain to going to the orange spring over utv incs purle white. will a stock 660 beable to pull the orange epi. will a lot of top end dissapear?
mine went faster 40 with orange spring. didnt see any top end loss
sounds good DB Willie has one on the way to me, im gonna give it a try figured it might be better for plowing this winter to. my machine is very heavy im just hoping the engine can run that spring.
with it being heavier it will help more. mine is heavy also.
give me a call if you dont get it lined outsounds good DB Willie has one on the way to me, im gonna give it a try figured it might be better for plowing this winter to. my machine is very heavy im just hoping the engine can run that spring.
