Gene, can your Sheldon swing the pulley? I had a similar situation recently with belt residue build up on my PB motor pulley. I tried all sorts of chemicals, acetone being the most effective, but that was still not very promising, so I resorted to mechanical means. I chucked the pulley up in the lathe and ground/filed a bit of acrylic to fit the v-belt groove and used that as a scraper, and finished up with abrasive wool soaked in acetone. It worked like a charm, and the pulley looks almost new.
I know you have a micro groove pulley, but I would think the same method might work, and the chance of damaging the pulley is very slim. I think you would have to get it really hot to burn it off, and it may just be a gooey mess at lover temperatures.
