Thanks for the reply. That is what I suspected. Do you know if I can put a smaller belt on or if there is a tension adjustment on my cart?

I believe the drive belt looks loose because of a clutch issue. I will need a better video from the top and hopefully longer than 5 seconds to see if it is the primary or secondary that looks weak. One of them isn't holding position well and it is allowing to belt to slap around.

The front plate on your driven clutch looks pretty sloppy.

This video is 30 sec. Should I be able to pull on the drive clutch and spread it out? Let me know if you need a different angle or even longer.
Thanks
