On my Polaris on the driven clutch (the large diameter hub which drives the belt, I think that is what it is called) there is a sheave adjuster labelled 1 to 5. I have tried all settings and couldn't get it to work right so I have kept the old belt on - it has over 2000 miles on it.
With my new belt, it still is too tight and I can't get the tension to loosen enough, it still drags on the clutch - this was part of the reason for the hard starting - thanks Smokey (see also "Hard Starting/High Idle" thread for more info).
Anyone have any hints as to how to adjust the belt tension enough - quick and dirty? Should I get a larger belt length? Has the old belt stretched or worn enough to make the new belt of proper size too tight and this means setting the tension in a different way??
HELP???
