I was putting on my alternator today and find that the belt is misaligned
by about 1/3 of the belt width to the belt groove on the engine. I have a Aerosport engine and the stock PLane Power alternator has any one else seen this problem? Or is this standard and leave it alone. I would think they need to be perfectly
aligned.

My Plane Power alternator pulley did not align with th ring gear pulley groove. I swapped ends with the alternator bracket and that corrected the problem. I did however have to make new spacers on the bracket to hold the alternator in position. I am using the dual groove ring gear for the air conditioning compressor.

Mystery is solved. I some how had turned the ring gear pulley groove plate
one stud off and was just hand tighten it. Once I got it holes in the
correct alignment everything was good. All is good and prop is on.

Thanks Geoff
