i have looked at comet's page, i have looked at max-torque's page, what is the belt supposed to look like on the driver? when i got my first belt, the driver touched the belt at idle, i made a spacer instead of lowering the idle. it worked fine and the belt only started wearing badly after climbing some good hills with me and a say 100lb passenger. 260 in passengers and 350 for the kart. i have since put the bronze bushing back on with a new belt. how loose should the belt be at the driver? on my ody and lt80 the belt sits fairly snug around the driver. thanks in advance.

as long as its not grabbing at idle your fine.
My sled has about 1/16-1/8" side to side play on the driven with a half worn belt.

for some reason it keeps eating the belt from the sides. this time i wasn't on any decent hills. the biggest one was maybe 2' high in 4'. i keep the gas mashed, so it isn't that sort of thing. it is a bit loose because it tries to grab the belt and bunch up. but it is also tight enough that the bronze bushing is spinning at a slower rate than the crank.
