Sydneykid,

With the belt, how tight do u do it? Do u just release the tensioner and then tighter again or do give it abit of a nudge to get more tension in the belt. The manual says to release the tensioner then rotate the motor twice and tighten (or something like that)

Does that sound right?

That's the method, it realies on the tensioner spring to pull the belt in to its correct tension, kinda like a tension wrench. I do that, but then make sure the belt has about 10 mm of movement side to side in the middle of the long run.

I have seen them soooo tight you could play violin tunes on them. :headspin:
