I just recently purchased a MAX II and replaced the drive belt with one with the same number (gates 6092). Problem is the belt does not seem to be the correct one.when I start the engine it will take off, also it seems to sit very hight on the driven clutch. Can someone verify the correct belt for a 1997 max II,vanguard 16hp. Thanks for any info.

Will do, kind of strange cause when I replace my snowmobile belts I don't have any problems? but I'll give it a try.
How high in the driven are you talking? The belt should sit slightly above the top edge. Someone had probably slit the engine in your machine back to compensate for a worn/ stretched belt. If you put a new one on without adjusting it, then the belt would be way too tight and cause it to do exactly what you describe.

I been checking out the forum and I think that is the place to start. I'll let you know what I find. (newbe)
The enigine was as far forward as it could go, I just put one of the old belts back on for now. I think I'll be be doing a trans. rebuild to, hope that is not to difficult. Thanks for all the help, I sure would like to get it in the water.
