_BELT ADJUSTMENT_
The proper tension on the fuel unit belt drive is set at the factory.
However, the belt should be checked periodically to see that the setting
is maintained. To check setting, first, remove the belt guard and then,
using fingers, compress the belt at a point midway between the sheaves.
The proper setting at this point measured between the outer edges of the
belt, should be between 1-3/4" and 1-7/8". If adjustment is necessary
loosen the two mounting bolts, and move the fuel unit up or down to give
the necessary belt setting. Then re-tighten the mounting bolts securely
and replace the belt guard.
