I have an old Atlas 322 (A3222E) snowthrower with a 3 HP briggs sno-gard. I believe its from 1987. I always noticed that the auger would try to move occassionally with the old belt, and now that I replaced the belt, the auger always moves at full speed. Its starting to score the new belt. The tensioner cable is on its loosest setting, and i had pulled the tensioner before and greased the bolt and the pulley. I also put 3 in 1 down the jacket for the tensioner cable. Does anyone have any suggestions? Someone gave me this for free about 3 years ago so im trying to keep it running.
the belt is the same exact size as the old one
