and flywheel alignment.
3. The belt should deflect 3/16"
(4.8 mm) at midway between the
pulley and the flywheel when a
5-10 pound weight is applied at
the midway point.
3. When proper belt tension is
achieved, tighten all four motor
mounting screws. See Parts list
for torque specifications.
NOTE: Once the engine pulley has
been moved from its factory set loca-
