Hi, One thing to note is their is not much contact between a belt and the driven pully on the crank, two belts double the contact surface. I think my belt had been slipping before failure, quite an inertia on that fan and windage produced from the blades. When I eventually change out this engine for a wartime flattie it will be twin belts for sure. On closer examination it was the wrong size belt in width.

kev.
