hey guys i know we had this topic come up a lot. I finally got my blower off, took the belt of tried to put a smaller belt on but didnt fit. I feel like i had too much slack in the old belt. Anyways looking at the bracket Im trying to figure out what bolt should i shim. there are two "top" ones and two lower ones. Anyways which one should I shim? what most people do?

 

New tensioner

 

the tensioner seems pretty solid though you think thats what it is?

 

Seen that as the issue before, not saying thats for sure your problem

 

it just took a lot of strength to pull it up to get the old shreaded belt of. Im running a smaller blower pulley 3.125 and thats why I have all that slack I think. Could that be a problem why Its shreding?
