    Will I have to buy a new belt?

    If I switch from my 3.5" pulley to a 3.25" pulley am I going to have to buy another belt or should I most likely still be able to tighten it down enough? I JUST bought a new Gatorback belt so I am hoping I dont have to buy another one. I have an 8" crank pulley and currently have a 59" belt.

    Thanks for any info, Ryan

    you can use 59" belt but you may have to put the idler pulley to the lower hole on bracket.i use 8" crank and 3.00 and 59" belt on the lower hole and it works great {alot of belt wrap} hope this helps novi88

    Great, thats just what I wanted to hear. If you can use the 3.00" I should be fine with the 3.25"

    Thanks, Ryan
