I'm going to take a wild guess and say Cent Belt clutch?

As it sits there, that is what you need. Personally I would get rid of the pulleys and go chain drive. Pulleys lose a lot of torque through slippage

Thanks for the info! I'm not sure mine is a 3/4" shaft ?? It looks really small...

A properly set up belt drive is actually much more forgiving of abuse than a chain drive, which is why many concession type carts have them as a factory set up, and if sized correctly for the load, slippage is negligible. The two main reasons that you see chain drive's on many consumer grade karts is packaging considerations and cost. The up front cost of a belt drive is higher than chain drive, but the life time operational costs are usually about 1/4 that of a chain drive. The #1 downside of V-belts is bulk. They take up space.
