Yes they are. When the clutch is released the two touchThose two pulleys should never touch. Are they still touching with the new belts installed?
Ill double check its routed correctlyEither the belt is the wrong length or not routed correctly. I’ll find the length for you.
ill get back to you on that. I did put it against the old one and it was a perfect match.Belt length should be 47.5”.
I apologize if i sound dumb but this is my first time working on mowers. The pivot hole?Check the pivot hole.
If it is flogged out oval it will allow the pulleys to move too far.
Also check the clutch tension spring.
They get weak and they also cut a groove in the anchor point which has the same effect.
Its the correct length. Sorry had to tear it down. Put it together and move it out to work on golf cart. I really need to clean out the other side of garage lolYou will have to remove the belt to measure it.
