Mine did not come with it either, and I wish it did. Even at idle the kart wants to take off slowly.

This looks a little narrow but might try to order it see if it helps.

No the driver has no bronze bushing between the sheaves on a 1" model.
it's main purpose is not to reduce friction but to align the belt in the correct position for the sheaves to grab,
and while it does reduce friction on the 3/4" shafts,
it's not needed on 1" shaft models since the belt already sits in at the correct height for the sheaves.
frosty a creeping kart at idle is mostly a too tight belt (chinese belts are not always fitting the tc they come with unfortunately)
or idling too high. So check the slack of the belt and maybe try to adjust your idle down a hair.

Thanks for the info. This is a brand new belt from go power sports although not sure if its the usual Chinese quality. It was fairly cheap at $30 but it is what originally comes with their 40 series kit. I am hoping once the belt has a little wear (right now it has maybe 5 minutes of ride time on it) it will get better. I also tested the idle and its a little high at 1200-1400 rpm but the engine seems to like it more.

ahh you're talking about the series 40 then...
and by kit you talk about that backplate set they sell I assume.
I ranted about it a while ago, I won't repeat that again..
so just a short notion:
Sure, your belt's not perfectly straight so it cannot "not rub" at idle.
