You could try to make a belt-tensioner out of a skateboardwheel. If you know someone with a lath,he could machine a groove in it. That's what I did with my chain-tensioner. Dunno if it works for a beltdrive.
Why don't you use a small pully (like the one in the front) and screw it onto a grooved plate (which is welded to the frame) and thus make it adjustable in height?
Or buy a shorter belt, if that is an option.

What kind of engine was it again? Lawnmower? Not sure about how this works (clutch-wise). If you can't figure it out, a cheap moped engine could be an option. They've got a built-in automatic clutch. If you get it all up 'n' runnin' , don't forget the insurance (if possible) or you might get into trouble with the fuzz (at least we do on this side of the pond). :mrgreen:
you know its kinda funny.. cause them 'CARB'... CA Sacramento politician-Idiots deiced it would be a swell ideal to ban the sales of bicycle motor kits.. 49cc-66-80cc two stroke motor kits from being sold in CA.. and very few people try to sale kits to Cali now.. freakin Jerks.. now there are sites that either have found a loop hole or are selling kits to CAli unlawfully or some how are past the strict BS SmogII 2x or whatever standards on emissions.. Your Stupid Prius has worse smog then the poor little 2 stroke motor..jj256 said:

Just have it shipped to someone out of CA who will then send it to you.

Are Cali folks forbidden from using these as well? Are there fines, Jail time? Oops, looks like we're hijacking this young mans thread. My apologies, I just feel compelled to ask.
