Fix'em all 49 #1 Posted January 27, 2018 Can anybody help with the correct size belt for a Westwood Gemini with the original Suffolk engine. I just assumed it would be the same as the Flymo DM & bought an A20 but it is just too short & will not go on. I am torn between buying an A20.5 & an A21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wristpin 400 #3 Posted January 27, 2018 Paul M’s current Gemini thread shows the relevant page in the Parts book where a previous owner has helpfully written in A20 and its metric equivalent so that won’t answer your question. What’s not clear from the posted image of the book is the belt size that appears to have been crossed out. May be there’s a clue there and Paul can enlighten you? If the A20 is literally too short to go on, I would think that. 20.5 may be too short to declutch properly. So possibly a 21 is a better bet but..!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmackellow 2,738 #4 Posted January 27, 2018 I have bought a new belt for mine from fleabay, not got the engine back on yet so not had a chance to try it out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fix'em all 49 #7 Posted January 28, 2018 Hope it fits ok. Think I will get the A21 & if it is a bit long I can always put a few washers between the engine and the chassis. Did some spraying today & found Wilko own brand red at under £4 a can comes out a nice shade of orange. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmackellow 2,738 #8 Posted February 24, 2018 When I put my Gemini back together the new belt seemed a bit too tight so I have refitted the old one for now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fix'em all 49 #9 Posted February 24, 2018 I used a A20.5 in the end & it works perfectly. The little Suffolk engine starts first pull every time. Did quite a bit on it last weekend so have added a few photos. Ian 3 pmackellow, Stormin and Alan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
