Check belt tension:
To quickly check the tension on the belt, loosen the upper jam nuts on the engine
mount. If the engine rises 1/16”-1/8” off the lower jam nuts, the belt is at approximately the correct
tension. If the engine does not lift slightly, lower the bottom jam nuts to set the gap and tighten the upper
jam nuts tight.
