Well my belts are not glazing or dried out.
See picture of this belt after about 45 minuts of tuning runs, never exceeding 4500 rpm.

Notice the abnormal wear.
This groving is I suspect caused by some slip when the belt reaches the end of travel and ius riding high in the primary. And it wears its fastest.
Heat has not been an issue as far as I can tell.
Everything works well.
and everything is lined up before you ask.
Too within .010
I went to the trouble to cut some shim plates into washers to get as near perfect alignment as possible.
Near stock engine and power maybe throwing 8 hp at it I think.
I have a clone with the potential to make a not inconsiderable amount of power.
But I am not using all its potential, the real power doesn't come untill after about 3600 rpm and I may be aproaching peak torque at 4400.
