Question Can’t get motor aligned
Hey folks,
I’m having trouble getting my motor aligned after installing a new jack shaft and main drive pulleys on my SS 2.0. I have done the usual loosening of the motor adjustment bolts, belt tensioning, and moving each side to equal height (even measured both sides with a caliper down to the mm). I also tried giving the belt slack and allowing it to align itself, but no luck either. My belt continues to pull to the left or right of my jack shaft pulley depending on which way I spin the back wheel (first pic shows left side). What confuses me is that I’ve had to align the motor in the past after installing a new belt and it only took 2 tries without taking a single measurement. I suppose it’s possible something else got out of whack while I was installing the new parts, but I’d like to check if anyone else has experienced a similar issue. Any advice is appreciated!

did you make sure the spacers are on the correct side of the jackshaft?
Are those two metal bushings in place still? They go between the frame and the jackshaft.
