So I just completed a ground up rebuild on a 2004 hpx with a 23 hp Vanguard repower from Small engine warehouse. My issue is I have way too much drive belt deflection, almost 3". All Small engines could tell me is the primary and secondary are a little closer together than originally. To get the correct belt I need a measurement from a stock hpx, center to center primary to secondary . Or if someone has all ready tackled this issue to chime in. My thinking is if I subtract the measurement from OEM belt lenght of 48.81" I can look for an alternative. Moving the engine forward isn't an option because the muffler setup is only about half an inch away from frame now. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
