Yes army, putting "slack" in your belt will cause the jerky take off. Stock arrangement gets the belt turning (cart moving) just slightly even under just the starter turning. As engine speed increases the drive clutch closes on the belt gradually. With that slack in the belt you've taken the gradual engagement away. The drive clutch will close in far enough to take up that slack and only start to engage at higher engine speed and further out on the pulley "V".
