Just saying I could disengage, who knows why.
I could put a flat belt on the two gears, if you really want a timing belt.
I am really looking for feedback and help since I do not know what I am doing (I have never done this) but I need the whys.

There is no way I would run an encoder for the ELS via a gear. I would
suggest that with an encoder with a shaft you only consider a timing
belt drive.
Also why would you want to disengage the encoder?
