Well I put washers in and it made no difference! So I put 2 more washers in and still the same.:confused2: But I went to tractor supply and measured my belt then I got a belt that was an inch shorter! Its not perfect but the deck runs at full power. I just have to lower the deck completely to start it. I can live with that! if this is hurting my engine please let me know thnx again for all the help I got!!:thumbsup:
