When you tighten up the pulley, and you think it is tight, is it really, or is
it just pinched? Try tightening up the pulley front half, then spin the motor a
couple of revolutions to allow the belt to reposition itself on the pulley,
because when you tighten it, the diameter actually increases. So keep doing
this process until the belt is not pinched, but is truely running on the
diameter of the pulley, and is at the right tension, then install the pinch
bolts. Make sure that you use fine thread( they hold much better) high quality
Grade 8 bolts and good washers and nuts. This should do it.
