2.2 Distributor Belt Replacement
1. Remove the belt tightener spring (see Figure 2-1).
2. Locate the belt lacing and remove the pin. The distributor belt can now be removed
from the distributor.
3. To increase the belt tension, cut off a little from one end of the belt. Belt tightener
spring length will increase one-half of the amount cut off the belt. A belt that is a little
too long or short can cause pin feeding problems, and the ideal length can vary a little
from machine to machine. If replacing a worn belt that has otherwise performed well,
make the new belt the same length as the old one.
4. If necessary, prepare a new belt in accordance with Section 2.2.1.
5. Use the Clipper belt lacer part # 088-000-108 to install new clipper lacing on the belt in
accordance with Section 2.2.2.
6. Thread the belt onto the distributor keeping one end on the belt runner about a foot
behind the trip arm making sure to thread the belt through the belt guard. If
necessary, use another distributor as a guide to belt layout. When threaded, bring the
two ends together, interlock the lacing, and install the belt pin. The end of the pin can
be bent over to keep the pin from working loose.
7. Reinstall the belt tightener spring.
8. Turn the machine on and verify proper operation. If the belt tracks off to one side, turn
the machine off, disconnect the belt tightener spring from the distributor casting, and
move the end of the spring that is attached to the tracking bracket one notch toward
the side the belt was tacking. Reattach the other end of the spring.
9. Run the machine and make any necessary adjustments.
The new grooved distributor belt comes cut to length (116¼” ±1/4” [2953 mm ±6 mm]), is
pre-skived and chamfered. All that is necessary is to add the lacing and install. It is
always a good idea to verify the overall length needed and to fine-tune the length by
trimming as needed before applying the lacing. The lacing will add approximately ¼ inch
to the overall length.
