right he gets ther fills up with water starts it up with battery booster perfect then notices that no of the belts are turning and really slack belt so turn off quick jacks car up and proceeds to tighten up the crank bolt and it was very loose then start her up again perfect belts running then they stop again bolts come loose again so we give up and toe my sorry cold ass back home

a woodruft key is a piece of metal of varying sizes it is tapped into a groove on various pulleys this locks pieces together to prevent slack movement etc if its worn hence no drive you dig? |
