Default Comet engagement too harsh ?

Scored a fantastic deal on a go kart. It has a brand new H.F.
6 1/2 hp motor and new comet clutch, but when you step on the gas pedal it sure seems a bit harsh when it first takes off and also anything less than full speed seems to cause excess vibration from the clutch as well.
The clutch belt has grooves and my guess those are where the vibration is coming from. My gut tells me I need a little more tenson on the belt, any opinions here or other thoughts would be appreciated. This is my first time owning a kart with a comet clutch so I know nothing about them.
Thanks, snoopy
