PS pump belt tightening question

[motogo1]

You may have too long a belt. My car is not here right now, but I have
records of the three belts as: Conti 13x960,13x915, 11.2x820. I THINK the PS
belt is 13x960. There was some confusion in the book listings, and initially
I had too long a belt.  Check the numbers on your belts.  HTH...somewhat.
