the tensioner idler wheel is on the wrong side of the belt.put the belt around the motor with the spring on the motor at full stretch.will be hard to hold the motor back whilst fitting the belt.once the belt is fitted around the motor shaft let the tension go on the motor and the idler tensioner wheel will be on the back side of the belt and the belt will tighten up for you.
