Sure sounds like the rollers/sliders are installed improperly or are wore out(flat spots).If the owner didn't pay attention to rollers in the variator when putting on the belt, it's easy to see how it would be messed up.When removing/re-installing the variator you have to hold everything in place with one hand as you put it back on the shaft.Kick start can be completely removed- just put a nut and bolt back in the hole on the cover. FYI-You'll need an impact tool to remove the nut on the variator.
