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? |

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. |

Most auto part stores sell shims. If not you can put a washer. |

Where would you put the shims to correct this issue? |

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. |

The upper pulley should have a guide ring like on the front of sprocket. |
