Well, I sort of was saying more idlers. I had thought you would put
the idlers up in a way that the belt would ride in the groove, I
hadn't thought that you would do it the way you did.
What I thought was put another set of rollers to touch the other side
of the belt, or at least [i]almost[/i] touch it. In your case, it
would be a set of rollers on the bottom of the belt. Maybe 6" behind
the existing ones. Only I thought you would rotate the pulleys to
match the belt rather than just let them whap on what they will.
Keep in mind I'm not a mechanical engineer of any sort, so maybe what
you're doing is perfectly fine. I'm a software guy. :)
Let me know how that works out, if it does well then maybe I can start
recommending that approach.
I had a UH-12r for years, then started building a UH-18sp. The 18 is
mostly functional now, except that I tore into the wiring a while back
and it's still not back together. I have a variator setup, but it's
not in the stock place.
