have you checked the belt? did you put the right size rollers in when you replaced them? did you put the variator, pulley, etc. back together properly when you reassembled? any bits left over?

If you post your location perhaps a local with expertise could give you a hand, or at least suggest a good mechanic in your area.

Good luck!

Yes like us! If the crank is spinning and the splines aren't worn off the crankshaft, it can only be belt, rollers or clutch.

yes i put the correct rollers in... i think it might be the belt because it is quite slack but it still has quite a bit of meat(rubber) on it

it's cheap to replace the belt - that's what i'd do in your situation.
