When was the last time you replaced the belt and checked the idler pulleys? Most common cause of this problem is an old belt and/or worn idler pulleys and tensioner arm.

Thanks bought this used last season assumed belts are ok so not checked them will do so over weekend how often should belts need changing and thanks again.

 

[Rivets]

Depending on usage, should be checked every year and changed every 3-4 years.

yes all seems good belt is stretched so ive been told while looking at idler pulleys noticed a top up tank on hydro unit should i keep itr full and if so what with

 

[Rivets]

Not full, should be a mark on the side of the reservoir. Don’t know what Honda uses, another question for your dealer when you ask about specs.
