variated two speed?

Someone did a MARS/Solo 2 speed pulley on a Peugeot 103, but said it wasn't that great so fuck it post a video !!!!

i should of made a video today but will tomorrow in the light. Best I can tell is that 1st gear is underdriven while 2nd gear is 1to1. With the solo's pulley being a little smaller than the stock moby pulley it's second gear makes higher mph than stock. 1st let's it pull harder. It fully variates before shifting into second thanks to some atf in the solo's pulley. After it shifts it un-variates and starts variating again. It variates at too low an rpm though. Do they sell lighter balls for the stock variator or do i have to drill tiny holes through them and fill the holes with plastic? I don't want to go with a stronger spring as it's not slipping the belt at all and I don't want the extra drag.

You can get a 4 ball roller guide for it.

Stock should be a 3 ball roller guide. By getting the 4 ball guide you can use just 2 of the balls instead of 3 or 4.

I know on a Peugeot I can adjust the weights easy, but I've never tore into my Moby vario yet.

i want a vid

That's Neato!!

If you could take the pulley apart you may be able to put stronger springs in it so it would engage later at higher RPMs

(Kinda like a Doppler clutch pulley).

You can also tune the Moby Vario or swap it for a performance vario so you could tune it in to variate when you want it to shift.

The Solo can spin some good RPMs even though its all plastic gearing in there so you would want your vario to to spin the shit out of the pulley in the second gear before the Moby variates the second time. I know that the 1st gear on the pulley is kinda short and not sure how to make that rev out more unless the spring adjustment would do it.

This is so fucking rad, I don't know where to start.

Aaron is right, by the way. I'd just take the plung and get a simple Varplus. Cheap, great performance, and very, very tunable.

Don't drill out your variator balls! That thing isn't a Hobbit or Derbi!

well it was a colaboration between me and a friend. It's going to find a home at mopedless girl's house. I'm going to go make a video.

that is very impressive man.

im happy because of you ingenuity. was it a bolt on deal?

Seems to me you could get what you want just by changing the sprockets. Smaller in back or larger in front

is this real life?

fixed video

We did this about 2 years back, it dose nothing for performance. Kina a neat trick though, you get to see the engine swing twice.
