Do you have a "Cricket?"
Many here check belt tension by feel. I am too neurotic for such practices...
This is from memory (so not reliable) but I think the FSM lists a belt tension of 35 to 40 pounds (? I can't recall the unit for deflection). A cricket will put you in that ball park with certainty.
