166 belt vs 383

[smokejumper]

Is there a good replacement belt for the 166? I can't seem to hit 8100 rpms with the 383.

Due to its construction style and materials used; the 383 cannot take more than 190 degrees belt temperature before it fails.
Use the 377 or 288 drive belt.

the 288 has been the best belt i,ve used. 377 slips a tad more and creates higher belt/clutch temps,288 has better hole shot and long life

I have been using the 377 with good results.
