It looks like you have an electric start version of an 11 mm set-up.
The notations on the belt might indicate that it is a Primo Phase III kit but the 1G3 designation is a mystery to me.
I looked in the V-Twin Cat. and they list a 421/2" 96 tooth 11mm belt by Gates only difference is that the rear pully is rated at 44 teeth. Gates part # is 30884x1 1/2.
Great score for $50!! It will be worth the bit of work to get that ring gear off and a new belt.

Thanks King, I found the belt in teds also. Just curious why 44 teeth, mine is 45(counted it 3 times). As for the starter ring I'll machine that off on luch break at work. Just would like to figure outwho made this set up later SSB

1-1/2" x 11 mm. All the modern motor pulleys are 31 tooth. All the clutch shells are 47 tooth, to the best of my knowledge. Any other combinations "tended to tear up the belts" is what BDL® told me. My Primo® pulleys are 31 motor and 47 clutch. I'm going to try the 26-T trans sprocket and see if it's too tall at 62 mph. I'll be reporting back before too long. My name is Plumber and I've (fallen), forgotten my password (and I can't get up ;D) or log on.
