 Copperhead 18 belt issues Last night my belt kept slipping off so I barely made it off the lake. I already has an extra belt just in case so I swapped em out this morning. Comparing the new and old belts it's safe to say it was time.
After i got the new belt on I noticed it slips back way off of the gear when running.
Is this normal or is something wrong?

Re: Copperhead 18 belt issues You need to tighten your belt by shimming your engine up. By the amount of rubber on the back of the engine it has been slipping for a long time.

Re: Copperhead 18 belt issues Most auto part stores sell shims. If not you can put a washer.

Re: Copperhead 18 belt issues Underneath the motor where it mounts to the frame. Also the teeth on the belt should be facing inwards to sit inside the teeth on the sprockets.

Re: Copperhead 18 belt issues The upper pulley should have a guide ring like on the front of sprocket.
