That’s what I meant with the belt angles. the 40 driver would most like carve into a 30 series belt pretty quick.

it may have done that I was meaning just use that belt for size reference for the correct belt. but maybe I should just wait and measure it first

rd1970. Wait till you are finished, because you have work to do on that engine plate of yours and the measurements could change. Once you are ready to go,
the correct way to install a new belt is with both clutches OFF of the kart. Loop
the belt over each one, then separating them ( the belt will sink into the driver, as it is open ) slide them onto the crank and jack shafts at the same time. The belts cost enough money, especially the 40series that it is worth the effort to do it the right way. No prying no stretching and no damage.

Pancho, changing it like you do a sled is the right way and I have been doing it like that since the 1980s. I also used to keep a spare belt on my Dingos too. It sucks if you break one far away from home.
