Belt deflection

[Madtrapper]

I have a 1050t with the 29hp Kawasaki motor. It does not seem to have the low end torque that I expected it to have. It has the heavier clutch spring in it.I have two belts for it and they both have just over 2" of deflection. What should I have ?

I’m assuming you have Comet clutches? I would start with a new belt then shim the engine table up as tight as you can get away with without it shifting hard. Even the slightest wear can change your gear ratio.
