Clutch looks good- The belt looks way too loose. The driven unit helix should be against the rubber/plastic tips when at rest(the tips are very important). Did you try to apply a quarter turn/tension when re-assembling it? Is the spring seated in the adjustment holes? Your spring may be too soft to apply tension on the helix. In a perfect world the belt on the driven(when at rest)should be flush with the top of the sheaves/pulleys. Remove the belt and look at the shaft of the driven- are the rivets getting shiney? Can you turn the driven sheave/pulley by hand to make it open?
