I got a reply from texting the phone number, but they are out of varistors. I'm considering purchasing a quality variator and taking it to a machine shop to enlarge the opening for the driveshaft. My rollers are getting eaten up for some reason. It's noise at this point, maybe some vibration. They want a picture of the bearing, but I'm not measuring it for awhile since the noise is faint with regular applications of PB Blaster.

Do you know the diameter of the driveshaft hole on the backplate of the variator?

I'll give the engine solid points, at least 4/5 so far. Even air cooled, it operates well up to about 105F or so. It is handling 100F quite well for hours at a time, even with lots of idling. I don't push it, but it's been very dependable. I'd like it to last to 5000 miles. Many of us are about halfway there at this point.
