When you go in, you should bring everything up to your standards, if the TB has to come off EVERYTHING related should be like new when it goes back together. Its not good to assume the previous owner or their mechanic did anything remotely well or correctly.

I've read a couple TB stories with same sounding problem, with I think two sources, bent tension bolt, or a missing or bad bushing.

The belt IIRC doesn't just move forward and stop for no reason, its rubbing on some bracket and slowly being eaten up.

There is a good write up on a couple sites, plus many find the guide with pictures that sold on ebay for $15 to be money well spent.
