Search on TGO for the belt routing. You change the way you route the belt, and need a smaller one ta-boot.

Jake, I actualy had to use a longer belt. Becuase of the way you have re-route it. IIRC stock was a 94.5" belt, and i had to go to a 96.5" belt.

I don't think I have a picture of the routing I used though.

really. did you use a delete pulley, or just some creative routing?

the easy way. = $52.95 + shipping.

the "hard" way. = price of a new belt.

just diffrent routing, when you take the air pump out, you have to route around the crank, and waterpump diffrently. It will only go one way, it is pretty easy. Just make sure the ribbed side is on the crank pully, and the smooth side is on the water-pump pully.

Make sure everything still turns the same way, and you will be set. It works just fine, no need to spend the money for a delete pully.

plus the delete pully adds clutter. a re-route is nice and clean. thats how mine is done. but the prior owner did mine. Smile
