The buggy would briefly squeel at me on start up Saturday. Typical fan belt noise. Upon inspection, it is obvious the brelt is riding in the very bottom of the pulleys.
Question: Is not the belt supposed to be riding in the upper part of the pulley grooves so as to provide more surface area for traction? A quick picture would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jimbo

Jimbo, I believe you want the belt to ride high in the pulley. To do this, you want a wider belt. Belts in my industry are determined by an "L" designation. This may be true in the auto industry also. 3L 4L 5L etc... A 5L belt being wider than a 3L belt. Here are some photos of the current project. These are the best I could find. You can see though that the belt really fills out the pulley groove.    |

Another quick request por favor. My buggy has a 2A tub. The gas cap is set such that you have to reach inside the tub with your left hand, outside with your right, and use both to loosen or tighten it. Seems the fill orifice should protrude a smidgin so you'd only need one hand. Would one of you kind gentlemen, even Scott  , take a pic, looking straight down the outside of the tub so I can see if what I have is normal. My wife used to tell me it isn't, but that's another story!  JB |
