It doesn't look out of alignment to me.Looks pretty clean! You need to remove the clutch and wire brush the internals check that both springs are not broken and spray with dry lube around the outer portion of the bell..You need to verify that the belt is installed correctly with the flat side towards the motor.When you remove the clutch check the brass bushing that slides on the shaft between the the clutch inner and outer for debris or gummy material and clean.The surfaces of the clucth that the belt rides against need to be very smooth and shiney, including the driven unit on the jackshaft.The clutch can't really open too far- when the belt is worn it will get narrower and ride lower in the driven unit. Your picture shows that it's not as it sits at the top of the driven unit the way it should. After cleaning test drive and let us know how it works--This maintrenance should be done the first time the belt grabs to eliminate belt destruction.
