You're goin to have to post the model of the machine for these guys to help,

It's either routed wrong or it's the wrong belt

If you're choking it to make it run, it's starving for fuel , you still have a fuel problem with the carb or fuel pump diaphram

I use a pull behind catcher , works well when the grass is dry

Better post a few pictures , I don't know what a " loom " is myself

It will either be 3/8" npt or possibly 1/2 "

Use the square shank extractor , the twist usually will just slip and not grab

Keep drilling it out , get a " heilicoil" or thread insert kit , it will come with the drill , tap and insert you need to replace the bolt assembly,

I don't think what you're seeing has anything to do with it not running right ,Don't get locked into this as the problem , I really doubt this is anything but normal wear / tear in a chainsaw that has seen use. I would look at your fuel system first , your compression is good so cylinder scoring...

What changed when this happened ? Something caused this

Low oil level kill safety switch ?

If it's a safety switch , it will not even turn over , does it turn over and not fire Or does it not even respond to your ignition Key ?

Any pully the same size will do in my opinion , it's not something you need OEM for , just make sure it's the same diameter and same size groove for the belt.

Well at least you found something that maybe the cause

Apples and Oranges when comparing to small gas engines I think
