I'm new here and was hoping to find some helpful advice on a problem that has come up with my 1983 Honda FL250 Odyssey. I shredded the belt that had minimal hours on it. I also noticed the clutch cover had cracked (part of the belt was stuck in the crack). I unbolted the cover and the drive pulley components inside looked fine so I just put it back on along with a new belt. The problem I'm having now is that it's acting like a motorcycle would if it was in gear and you tried to push it forward. The tires won't roll and it's very hard pulling the start cord - like there's a ton of compression built up inside - although it moves forward some each time I pull the starter cord. Could I have done something while putting the new belt on? Both pulleys turned as I was putting it on but I did turn them both ways before figuring out which way worked best. Or might this be a symptom of whatever caused the belt to shred in the first place? Hoping to hear from Bighead but if I don't can someone please explain how to do a search on his threads?

Welcome to the forum! Have you tried sending Bighead a PM? He is not active on the forum at the moment, but a PM might get through to his email address
