If the clutch is a idler that tightens and releases the tension on the belt, and the belt keeps driving even when the idler is loose, there needs to be guides made to just clear the back of belt on at least two sides this prevents the belt from "rounding outwards and driving. Effectively the belt will now be forced away from pulley contact. One eighth inch clearance is good when the belt is tight on the pulleys (clutch out) JimN
