Thanks.
I just discovered today that my 1978 Peugeot 103 SP moped that I bought a little less than a week ago has a CVT type mechanism they call "the variator" The whole engine is mounted on a pivot and pushed with a spring to keep the belt tight. It is really quite mesmerizing to rev up the engine and watch the pulley slide over and essentially become larger and watch the engine shift backward to take up the slack in the belt. I have very little idea how it actually works, but it is quite fascinating.

Here is the owner's manual: http://www.mopedriders.org/html/manu...nersmanual.pdf
