Hi,
This is very decent of you Ted to offer to supply me a wiring diagram for remote inverter controls and I'll be happy to accept at a later date once I've sorted out the clutch; this clutch is becoming an obsession with me and I'll not settle until it's sorted. Thank you Ted it is much appreciated.
I've just had a look on the web and found some information regarding an idea I had in fully disengaging the "V" belt thereby stopping drive; I knew what I wanted but hadn't decided how to go about it but the following link is very useful.
I know the motor is tilting enough to make the "V" belt very slack but the belt was still driving hard; as the slackened belt was "floating" it was making contact with the motor pulley and as "V" belts are very efficient in transmitting power the pulley "V" was obviously grabbing the loose belt?
I was considering adding a pair of metal "fingers" to deflect the loose belt away from the revolving motor pulley so I was actually thinking on the right lines; I now believe I'm half way all I need to do now is to arrange belt deflection? Ideally I would like to come up with a simpler solution than using a jockey. I'll study the following link in more detail and also browse the web for other ideas but the following is a very well thought out solution as it appears a "loop" is allowed to be incorporated in the bottom of the "V" pulley; this loop being prevented from rotating but once the belt is slackened the loop then engages with the inner face of the belt thereby lifting the belt clear of the pulley hence not only completely breaking drive but preventing belt wear from rubbing?

Kind regards, Col.
