So are you saying the "black-belt schmegma" means an out of alignment clutch? I have the same on mine, just assumed its normal belt wear, more so being new. Have always seen it on my new sleds.

mine has that crap...and I know mines right. The alignment is from the inner drive sheave to the outside surface of the driven... Need an alignment bar...

Well, typically most people will see more, some less. I think i'm falling into the "More" category, because it shouldn't be that way.

If your clutching is properly aligned you will se minimal belt schmegma! B) if any at all.

Right now i'm at 3/4 in.

Is that right or is it 5/8?...

 

[ods dan]

I never measured one that way??? But I think a lot of the crap could be.....The y-pipe exhaust donut leaks out the side a tad and blows over there, then with the clutch spinning looks like belt crap...maybe.?

that donut leak really blows oil when your on the first tank of 100to 1,
completly dirtiedn up my engine
cant stay new for ever

My sled has a ton of the "schmegma" on it. I just checked the alignment today and it was perfect. I did notice the residue from the exhaust donut leakon the clutch guard. What dan says makes sense about the oil from the exhaust hitting the clutch while its spining and throwing it everywhere.

I'm going to run a new belt the next time and see what happens then. Maybe you guys are right with the oil and all. Maybe it's the color also. Black and hot green do not mix. :huh:

The red also looks terrible with black exhaust and belt schmegma on it.....
