Beta Marine Engines

My new Beta 43 came with the optional "Cruising Kit". The alternator belt on the engine is: 6pk1152. The alternator belt in the Kit is: 6pk1146. Are they interchangeable? The engine has the standard 70 amp Iskra alternator. WOC number K38961. Engine number 7JF2096.

The new Beta 38 was a huge upgrade to the tired old VP, but the throttle return spring on the Beta sometime makes it hard to hold a throttle position. I dont find any f...
