3rd Session complete
Another belt tweak session is now complete. I finally abandoned the 1/2 turn and ride approach that I thought would 'creep up' on the correct setting. The surprise in all of this (to me) was that the right adjuster moved more than 3 full turns to set the belt correctly. The belt ended up with .060" ~1.5mm clearance to the rear flange, tested off the ground and after riding. The belt was lightly against the outside of the front pulley. In a previous attempt, the belt had moved off the front flange and I don't know why that changed. I find it hard to believe that it was ever checked after assembly at the factory. There is rubber belt dust on the cases around the front pulley. I went back and forth about 500' while checking the adjustment and noted that when reversing the belt moves toward the inside flange. I wanted to be sure it wouldn't walk off the first time I backed out of a parking space.
The tension ended up at B0 or about 31Hz. and that should be about 180# (on the ground or jacked up). The Krikit measures ~195# with my bad eyes. Good enough to ride a while and see how everything feels and works.
