Here are pics of everything. What should I do next? I do have a can of Comet GP-730A dry lubricant.

jpc, I'm thinking of the buggy you have, I'm pretty sure those are decent size buggies, and have decent weight to them. I know there 2 seaters also. So depending if your looking for a little more take off vs. top end I would recommend 10 gram rollers, and 10 gram sliders. Also the variator it self looks worn, either you can clean it out, replace with a new stock one, or they have different brand variators. So far I like the stock variator. Of course get your self a new belt. All and all you shouldn't have to spend more then $50. While you are in the cvt area, I would look over your clutch system, I bet its warn out.
