I just changed a belt on a 92 Indy 340. The new belt is identical to the old one, same product number, just a little shorter. (maybe old one is stretched)

Now after I drove it on the trailer it wont start as the belt is really snug on the engine clutch.

Will it stretch? I can probably start it with the track raised. Is this normal?

The belt will stretch a little. Have you riden this sled much this year. If the sled has been sitting for a while, dirt and corrosion may have built up in your clutches. If this fits your description, I would recomend cleaning the clutches and making sure they're adjusted to spec.
