Why ,I like solid they require more maintenance, over head adjustments, and when they over speed things bent and break. Also there are easier and cheaper ways of getting 15 horsepower.
What question are you answering? I saw a similar (or maybe the same) response from you on another thread that also made no sense in that context.
