idler engagement. See Figure 5.11. The idler pulley
should impact the belt in the center of the pulley. All
pulleys must be in perfect alignment. Torque pulley
set screws to 160 in-lbs.
4. If idler pulley will not remain in alignment with engine
and rotor pulleys, it may be necessary to replace the
idler bracket bushings.
5. There should be 1/8" clearance between the belt and
the upper belt guard when the clutch is engaged. Adjust
by loosening the mounting bolts and repositioning the
guide. Retighten mounting bolts.
6. Reinstall upper shield.
7. From underneath, check the alignment of lower belt
guard with a post card. With the clutch engaged, there
should be enough room between the belt and the side
of the guard for the card to slide along the belt. With
the clutch disengaged, the card should not be able to
slide. Adjust if necessary.
