I need to slow down the speed in second gear a little bit. Should I go with a pulley 1.5" smaller than the original and run 1st gear, or go with one 2" bigger and run in 2nd gear? Wondering if anyone has done it. Thanks!!

A smaller 'drive' pulley or a larger 'driven' pulley to slow down ground speed.

Yes, that's right Gary. I was just wondering whether it would be more beneficial to speed up first gear, or try to slow down second gear. There is a big jump between the two. I may try to slow down second gear.
