Are your pulley's lined up? Behind the variator is that gear still present? Now I seem to remember that in 2005 both Hammerhead and Carter which used a Hammerhead motor used something like a 2:40 gear ratio in the final drive and these buggies would fly but would not climb worth a darn when pushed in hilly areas would go thru belts. The Blade, Kinroad and everyone else used a 3:08 ratio in the final drive. In 2006 both Hammerhead and Carter used the 3:08 ratio. If your pullies line up the needle bearings in the clutch pulley are good I would check the gears in the final drive. Also take the advise given earlier with intake filter removing the elbow and replacing with scotch bright pad. You can run temporarily with the cover off while checking but the cover needs to be on for the cvt to properly cool.
