G1A drive belt width?

[scott_nadeau]

Hi all - can somebody tell me what the proper width of a drive belt is for a G1A? Measured at the widest part of the belt (the top).

Thanks!

Hey Scott,

The drive belt should measure approximately 1 3/16". A used belt will still work around the inch area.

Thanks Matti. I'm pretty sure mine is smoked. I'll go measure it now. I'm pulling a 490lb snowmobile with it, and it doesn't like to start with the load when it's hot. A skinny belt will cause an overdrive condition and make it hard to start.

Np. Hope this helps solve your problem.

If you aren't already... especially with towing, keep an eye and make sure that the rear always has enough oil :biggthumpup: Just a tip to keep your $ pockets $ happy in the long run
