Squealing Noise When Starting
Over the past few months I've noticed that my 1997 Club Car Golf Cart has been loosing power. Recently, when starting out, I get a squealing noise from the drive belt so I'm assuming I need to replace? The power loss concerns me but I was wondering if changing the belt would correct both of these problems? I did order a new belt, plug, fuel filters and will change the oil and filter while I'm servicing. Also, is there anything I need to know when changing the belt? i never change a drive belt on a golf cart before but very much mechanically inclined. Appreciate the help!!!!!!!

Re: Squealing Noise When Starting
Thnaks for the advice. Got the belt, plug and fuel filters and my cart seems much better. Not quite the power it had in the past but better. Next I'm going to clean the carb but I have one question: I believe someone told me in the past that there were grease fittings for the drive pully assy and I couldn't find them when I jacked her up and looked. If there are fittings, can you direct me as to where they are? As always, I appreciate the guidance and hope I can help someone in the future. Thanks again!!!!

Another thing is I gained a little power back by blowing the dust out of the clutch, all I could figure was blowing the dust out just allowed the internal parts to move easier and fully. Now I blow mine out about once a month.

Re: Squealing Noise When Starting
Ok will take care of this tonight. Have you ever had the clutch assy apart? Are the grease fittings behind the outer pully cover? Not sure I'm explaining myself correctly but looking under the seat, the pully has a left and right side (right side closer to the engine). There's a center bolt holding the left side pully on and I'm wondering if the grease fitting is behind that cover? Anyway, thanks for the response and help!!

Re: Squealing Noise When Starting
there are no grease fittings on the clutch you ARE NOT supposed to grease it, does more harm than good...................................
