Belts which appear to “jump” is often caused by sprockets which are not aligned, correctly. If the number of “teeth” on the sprockets is a number which IS NOT divisible by 4 (i.e. 6, 10, etc.) the sprockets must be aligned on the shaft. There is a small hole on each sprocket which must be in the same position on each sprocket. When properly aligned, you can “see” through the hole down the full length of the shaft.
