I took my 14 viper out for a short spin around the yard and upon finishing I noticed a slight smell of what I would call belt burning smell. I took my cover off and felt the belt and it felt a lil warm then I felt the clutches. The primary clutch was almost to hot to even put my hand on it. The place that I was feeling was on the inside of the clutch plates. I just installed the belt adjuster on it and a brand new 8dn belt. Not sure why the clutch is getting so hot but I only took one lap around the yard so I'm obviously worried about how hot it would get on a long ride.

Do you have your secondary setup for the 8dn belt as in how high it rides in the secondary. If the belt is low in the secondary it will make the clutches work harder to get the sled in motion causing excessive heat.

I have the secondary tensioner backed out quite a ways. There are actually threads showing on the tensioner.

I have the osp belt adjuster and there are threads showing in the ring and I'm not sure I can back it out anymore then I already have it backed out. I don't have any belt squeal and the sled is not creeping ahead.

Not sure how the adjuster works, is your belt riding a little bit above the top of the secondary clutch?

Yes it is

Check for broken primary or secondary spring. Happens quite often it seems.

I guess I should give more background. I also installed ulmer clutch kit and sent my secondary to ulmer to have it machined as well. Not sure if that makes a difference but thought I would throw that out there.

I suspect your deflection is just too tight. Start with removing belt and just setting it in the secondary. Make belt 1/16 to flush the fine tune from there on the snow.

Your saying go 1/16 above flush on the secondary to flush

Yes no more than that and do it with belt off primary. Just set it in there. It is a 8dn right?
If 8jp go flush to 1/16 below. Just setting it in there.

Checked the belt seating and it is exactly where you said it should be. So not sure what to look for next. Is it maybe because the belt is brand new?

If clutches are working properly springs not broke or improperly installed then I would look at brake itself. grab the disc and it should wiggle a bit. You didn't have parking brake engaged right?
