I understand that the purpose of installing that idler between the other two pulleys is to get more surface area contact between the belt and the two pulleys to prevent slippage. Correct? I have a couple of questions on this extra idler pulley.
1) Did you have to increase the belt size to accommodate the extra idler pulley?
2) If you did not increase the belt size is there a concern about too much belt tension causing premature belt wear as well as extra tension on the bearings of other idlers and components being driven by this belt? The belt seems to have some pretty good tension already.
Thanks all.
