Could someone please tell me why after putting on my 2.25" paddle track I am now burning belts like its a ficking addiction? And why if I am loading and I hook the track on the edge of the trailer the belt with smoke rather than the track spin?
Burning Belts

primary issues, check your weights/rollers and spider, make sure all moves freely. By installing the 2.25 you increased the leverage of the track to the primary, which makes it more likely to burn.
get her figured out before you come play with us! You are still coming right??

What track did you have? Are your paddles rubbing on your tunnel? Hang your sled off the ground and see if you can turn the track by hand and hear something rubbing.
gearing also can have an effect.
Thanks for the input guys I'll pull my clutches appart and inspect and clean them. I also noticed that my secondary stuck open one of the burn-ups so I think I have a dirty clutch binding problem here. And yes, Backcountryislife I do plan on coming out some time in mid-to-late january after all the holiday crap is over with.
Sounds like a bad secondary spring. How old is the spring?
Did you re-align the clutches? Did you not replace the shims?
More track needs shallower helix, possibly lower gearing....what track did you have before and is the length also different?
