    The belt should not be loose, but not very tight
    Maybe a seized variator or rear pulley
    If you take the spark plug out you should be able to turn over and if you do from belt side you can see if belt turns or not
    Have known the belt to rust to the rear pulley if stood for a few years

    the outer part of the clutch in connected to the wheel through the gearbox so will turn wheel
    The inner part of clutch is part of the pulley behind
    If you try to turn engine it should turn rear pulley and not slip belt
    Reason to remove spark plug is so you can turn engine more easily
