Make sure the V-side of the belt runs in the grooves of
the crankshaft pulley and the transmission pulleys (B &

tab and loosely fasten the nut. Adjust the anchor
eyebolt until a measurement of 5-7/8” (14,92 cm) is
achieved from the outside if the spring hooks. Tighten
nut.

secure with the crankshaft bolt. Tighten the crankshaft
