Recommended Posts

Got a friend of mine with a 75 C-100 8spd.He wants to know if he puts a pulley that is half the diameter as the original,on the transaxle and a shorter belt,will it go twice as fast or at least faster??Anyone ever try that?

Yes, reducing the pulley diameter by 1/2 will double the ground speed.    Be aware the belt guard supports the belt allowing the belt to declutch.  With a smaller pulley, the belt may not be supported properly causing the belt to continue turning resulting in gear shifting problems.
