Check clutches and motor mounts...
Belt should be 1-3/16" wide. Not sure of the length.

Belt was 1 3/16 right on the nose. Driven clutch looked good to me. Didn't see any big signs. Drive clutch has one "pin" that the weight is forces up against when spun that appears to be a bit worn. Is there a rebuild for the drive clutch? Also just as u said both rubber engine mounts in the rear are wore out for sure. Not sure how u seen that from my video but great call !! Didn't have much time to totally remove mount. Do I need to remove by drilling out the pop rivets ?

I didn't see the mounts in the video. I just saw the motor moving way too much. Are the rubber mounts torn through and not doing their job? Yes, drill out the rivets to remove the mounts.
I don't know of any rebuild kits for the stock clutch.

Yep torn through. Center not even attached. Man looking at the inside parts of that drive clutch one would think u could replace some parts pretty easily. Bad mounts could be reason for belt not climbing to top of clutch you thinking? Back to ordering parts i go lol. Anything else I should be checking out before i place another order ? Thanks again for all your Responses 89

Check the 4 bolts that mount the motor to the cradle. Also check for cracked welds in the engine cradle just ahead of the rubber mounts(on the two cross tubes). It's a weak spot for you freaks that like to go fast.
New rubber mounts should fix the issue.
