Flip the washer the other way and now you have plenty of adjustment and the belt goes right on and tensioner travel is 1/2-3/4.

Moral of the story is, when you see odd issues like this don't automatically assume it's that part. Something else is likely causing the problem.
I'll pay attention to this when I get the new pulley in. It was suggested I go a size down but it took sometime to get the belt on in the first place. Haven't changed it in a while so I have a new belt also so we'll see what happens.
