Well I know that...idler pulley/bear is brand new. Has maybe 10 minutes of run time.

Not being a jerk here but you ask for help and neglect to mention new parts or what you do know about the problem. Then you say that you know that. How are we (the forum) able to help you if you know everything and keep us in the dark?
