Smitty  Says;  Seen it plenty of times before Ken.  Don't worry about  it.  
It is static.  Most usually seen jumping from the center of the  damper 
across to the outer ring.  The fan belt builds up a charge on the  pulley ring 
untill it gets high enough to jump to a ground.  In your case  the bonding 
rubber between the two parts must be a heck of a good insulator  for the 
spark to jump to the engine. Sometimes rubbing a little powdered  graphite 
speedo cable lube on the bonding rubber will bleed it  off.





Thanks Smitty.  Hadn't thought of that.  Not that it is a  problem, but I 
think I'll try your remedy.
