To tighten belt-(properly adjusted belt is snug to loose on brass bushing-NOT tight)Loosen engine and jackshaft plate bolts- move engine towards front and jackshaft/driven plate towards the rear for belt adjustment-.For chain adjustment loosen jackshaft bolts and move it forward till chain is tight.Alignment for belt on clutch and driven pulleys-Using your eyes, site the pulleys closest to the engine,they have to be perfectly aligned-loosening the engine & jackshaft/driven plate bolts and align the pulleys.The engine or jackshaft plate can get cock-eyed from tightening the chain or belt or bolts can come loose.
