Default ECS 1500 belt walking

Hey guys i've got an ecs 1500 kit and trying to solve a belt walking issue. So if you're looking at the engine from the front the belt always walks two ribs towards the engine and stays. All the pulleys are new besides the actual belt spring loaded belt tensioner/pulley. I would just space the blower pulley towards the engine but I feel the belt is too close to the front cover, and you can see on the old pulleys where the belt should be and not soo close to the engine. Any thoughts?

Thanks Doug great info! Essentially i'm going to try and space the spring tensioner assembly (adjustable) closer to the block in hopes of it kicking the belt back into it's correct position. I'll try that and update!

All fixed! Found my supercharger idler pulley/bracket was missing a washer. So...when tightened all the way down the idler pulley was a little cockeyed causing the walk, spaced it out to be straight and all is good now!

Can you post a pic of where you placed the washer please. I've been fighting this same issue for months and can't get it sorted out.
