Due to the sporadic rpm readings (13,650) I thought I had better take a look. It takes me about 20 min to completely remove and take apart. I was expecting the 8000 rpm setting maybe a spike however not 13,650. So maybe the tires lifted and free spun, tach error,old drive not set up right or opps in driven assembly.
First item of business is to look at the belt. If bad look at drive and driven faces for signs of issue. If that looks good than look at the assembly of drive and driven and parts checking for broke spring, hung puck etc.
The belt was bad. showed signs of slippage, lose of grip, over heat and was coming apart. The drive and driven both showed signs of slippage. The area of slippage was at engagement and run out. The shifting area (zone) was OK. Both springs were fine Drive assembly looked good. The driven not so good. the issue may be one I created when assembled or The old Seals and o-rings would not hold the grease as it moved in and out (shaft wiper) The driven shows signs of grease being flung outward on the outside of the movable face and on the inside of the sheave faces. and of course I may have packed to much in. I lube them than run them up and down and then wipe off excess before installing the collar seal. Then wipe down after installing the collar seal and running it up and down then clean again. I also clean between the sheaves after running it up and down before installing the spring. With the amount of fling on the outside and the sand packing in the middle of the sheave is which also ad some fling on it. I would say the seals did poor or I just did not clean good. I reworked it again and double checked my cleaning as I went this time be sure to rule it out. I also ordered new o-rings and found some seals which are on order to get ere next week. Since I will be reworking it again next week I went light on the grease so I can run this weekend. I did order enough to do three drivens. This one, spare one, future one (wife's). Now I can test the set up again.
I arrowed up some of the pics to show the slippage zones
