So I didn't have time today to take the cover off and check the CVT. I had the fan cover off to tighten a loose bolt on the fan.
This first video is the current state. Today when I started it, it sounded this way. Not running very good and no continuous deep tone.

The next video is revving while under load. (there is some rattle from the roll cage, especially between 30-35 seconds)
Let me explain the sound difference for you to compare. The tone is mostly loud whirling and tinking-link sound. While driving it there is no deep done just loud whirling sort of like you can hear in the second video. With this sound change comes bad idle control/running as you can see and a significant decrease in performance. The deep tone it should have comes in intermittently at a stop while at idle/reving ( such as 18 seconds)

With a load on it, and driving the deep tone is completely gone. Whirling and power loss is very evident.
