I have to report a failure with the cvt. After many hours of adapting pieces of the hoot gearbox to the cvt and mounting it to the engine, it failed on the first test run yesterday. The great kwik steel epoxy didn't hold up. After about 2 miles, it started coming apart. Slight setback. I think I have found another way to mount it. That was a great 2 miles, though. Very quiet and enexpectedly responsive. I have to get this done so that I can stop thinking about it!
