 :( I have been working on a friend of mines  kymco 50  he broke the drive belt so i replaced it no big deal so i thought.After putting it back together.
It would not start at first  well it wanted too but it would not rev up at all.
I then noticed the rear tire was trying to spin so I helped it out a little and it slowly revved up.It acts like the clutch is staying engaged with the engine all the time.You can run with the scooter and get it going while riding it but it has no power at all my question is did something else brake or cause the belt to break to begin with.I have   downloaded the kymco manual could my problem be the clutch weight spring or the ramp plate .Anyone have any ideas.

Sounds like you will need to open the clutch and clean out any bits of the old belt that may be stuck in there, also check that the bearings are not seized.

Yep, my slides are gone, one damaged, the other two disintegrated. Now variator rattles like buggery. New one is on "a slow boat from China".

Apologies, didnt realise it came off so simply with the belt.
The cone arrangement in my clutch doesnt move at all. Should it? More info please :)
