Hi All,
Wet belts indeed?? I had a look at the valve clearances on the Honda V twin engine in my ride on mower
It has wet belts to cams which are made of PLASTIC
I kid you not
A dozen or so years ago I rebuilt the engine for a custom Triumph 650, it came with a belt primary and cutaway primary case
Road crap had gotten in and done havoc to the alternator and the belt and not much good to the clutch either
I rebuilt it with a new alternator most of a new clutch and a full primary case. The clutch took "normal" Triumph plates and standard roller bearing rollers. I bought a belt that would run in oil and added ATF to the case
It has not given any issues (AFAIK)
