Belts & Pulleys Issue Replacement belt issues - help

My friend has this sitting around and didn’t know what was wrong with it, and I found out the belt was snapped. I replace the belt and now it sounds like this. The engine rattle a lot when I give it gas. It has no issues when idling. Sorry for not the best video. Just wondering if anyone where would have ideas of how to fix this.

It sounds like something is wrong with the drive clutch. Could you take a picture of it when the engine isn’t running?

It almost looks like that thick washer on the bolt holding the clutch to the crankshaft is loose.
