Mosey:
What do you use for a drive belt on little engines?
(Silver Bullet has a belt that runs over 3 pulleys)

Don1966:
Mosey look for Bond-a-Band polyurethane belts, you can make them to any size. Heat a piece of steel to 200 degrees F and stick the ends of the belt to both sides of the steel plate and put the two ends together. You have a belt. These belts are oil resistance and come in varies sizes. They have good grip, good wearing properties and are low static.

Large O-rings are what I use for fan belts. I'ts fun to take the engine to the hardware store to find the perfect size.

Pete49:
also look for sites that sell belts for printers and scanners as they have nice belts as well. O rings work well too as Steve said

I'm using the sqare section belt from an old VHS recorder, to drive the governor on my resently restored Stuart Turner S9.  I'm proposing to use a leather flat belt to drive a generator from the S9, that from the engine to a lay shaft, then ??from the lay shaft to the generator.
   O-rings tend to slip if required to transmit any power, I use the heat joined belting on my hot air engines, it drives generators, or my little power hacksaw, or a water pump,  its great.  Ian S C
