Yeah i cannot seem to keep a belt on this thing when i try to get any more than 10 psi outta it. I can tighten it enough to get about 11 then SNAP! Even at 11psi it's still slipping at about 5500 rpms....I think she's got 13 in her but have yet to see it. SDCE in the near future. I'm ******* tired of paying for and installing belts.

I think after i get back from Oregon i'll fix that centrifical clutch once and for all!
