No, I can't lined it up right and it about 1/4" off. I already try everything to lined up and nothing work right.

I have heard that alignment is an issue with that type of system, Eliot had one on peachy that use to eat the belts.

Yes, alignment on serpentines is very crucial. They can't twist as much as a V-belt can.

Ditch that thing and run a regular v belt. My belt stays on to 8k RPMs...

I debated moving to that set up. Not after reading this post...
