Re: Squealing Belt

unfortunately the drive belt cannot be adjusted for they are spring loaded tensioners. if the belt is loose your belt is either the wrong size or the tensioner pulley assembly needs replaced. not just the pulley the whole tensioner. if the belt is brand new that is. you can also buy belt conditioner for it to stop the noise if it isnt loose. some cheap belts naturally squeak. you may want to get a cross hatch belt for it this will ensure the stop of any noise associated with the belt. that can be bought for just a few dollars more. but first check the tensioner assembly for looseness or side to side play. the image below shows the tensioner location.
