Hi all,

The proper pulley for an FC is going to be hard to find. I have never seen one but Norm says it's the boss with the tapered fitting as well
Mine has a modified automotive pulley for a 11mm fan belt maybe off an an air-conditioner compressor or something

I am using an 11mm fan belt as well
Commodore or something I think
.
Conventional wisdom suggests that only the genuine Victa belt will last in this application but this one has done 2 years of reasonably hard work.

Norm I have had that sluggish pullover before
It was usually after the engine has been on its side or upside down. The remnants of the oil l must run around the rings or something
Usually clears after a few pulls with fuel off and plug out or something.
