I figured the clutch wasn't working right, the belt is new, about 1 3/16 wide, about 3/8 thick and has gear teeth like ribs on the bottom of it. When the engine is off the belt is tight, there is about 2in of space on the clutch shaft with the engine off and as soon as it starts up it sucks up to the belt. Anything I can check or adjust on it?
