Have you pulled the pulleys off and checked the keys and keyways? Possible one of them is allowing the pulley to shift a bit?
Hoping the roads are cleared when I get there. My folks left a car for me in Yukon, so I will Uber it from the airport to there, and then drive the rest of the way home.

glad the operation went well. radiation = no fun.
the keys and such would have to be right, because when i set it back, it ran smooth as silk, until i fired it up the next morning. either the belt is damaged or i am doing something wrong or both. i think i must be doing something wrong.
that said, the belt is coming out for a look see and i'll check the keyway and woodruff on the lower shaft. i already took the upper off to get the belt rotated a bit.
it was fine, until i opened it up and adjusted the idler pulley. then things went sideways. i put it back in alignment (the bottom shaft was ~120 degrees out of phase), drove it 20 miles, it was fine. parked it overnight, started it up the next day for a trip to the store and it was immediately obvious that i had a very bad engine vibration that got worse with increased revs.
