On the JEG small riggers I am trying to figure how to tuck the starter belt in after its started. On my 12 there isn't room that I can see. on the 21 I am going to turn the flywheel down a little bit, maybe that will work. I don't want to run with the belt sticking out the top. Thanks for any help.
 
Gary,
You need the thinner Gates belts, and they work great.
You can turn down the flywheels as well.
Thanks,

Gary,

I may have a few laying around. I will check and see.
Gates 3M 258 or the 3M 315 Polyflex V-belts. I see them
on eBay. Some use vacuum cleaner drive belts as well.

where do I get them? when is a good time to call you?
Gary,

Google: AlphaSew sewing machine belts. I think I use 7" length. They just lay over the engine, no coiling necessary. Extremely oil tolerant and very durable.

Thanks. Brad.

Mark, are those the small, narrow ones Glenn likes? If so you may want to give him a heads up about having the V groove in his starter pulley machined down to a complete V at the bottom or adding a new V to the pulley.

John,

I told Gary about the belts, and he has a complete machine shop
at his house to customize his flywheels as you have suggested.
Gary has been a little needy as he is getting very forgetful in his old age. I offered to help him out numberous times now and he just wants to do it all by himself.

Thank You For The Note John,

Mark Sholund
