Teac X-7R capstan stalling

I just replaced the belt with a PRB generic. Now about half the time I have to nudge the flywheels to get the capstans going.Happens in both directions. I cleaned and lubed the flywheels and checked endplay. Don't have a schematic for unit. Wondering if there is a startup circuit I should be checking? Belt seemed to be a little tight so I gave it a good stretch. No affect. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,Dennis

Not specific to this model, but tight is often a bad thing. Some belts are designed to run almost slack.
