Nottingham spacedeck motor - driving me crazy


I have a Nottingham space deck that is driving me crazy. I can only get the turntable to spin at 45 rpm, it will not spin at 33 rpm. The oil level is fine, the pulley alignment is fine. Without the belt the turntable, when pushed, spins forever.
Can anyone help??
Many thanks

No it shouldn't touch, I think Nottingham recommends 6 cm from the edge of the pulley to that of the platter? In any case, in mine, it never really made a difference where it was placed. The best just have to be stretched enough, and not too much.
For the record, the AceSpace is not a Spacedeck preset with tonearm and cartridge, it's a Spacedeck with improved bearing if I'm not mistaken. The fact that you got it preset has nothing to do with it.
