Belt Squeal, burn smell, then won't start

[drewriddick]

I have a 98 DS with FE290, have been hearing squealing when starting sometimes it would take a while before starter would turn over then car would run good till stopped then same thing again. Changed belts still made some squealing sounds. Today was riding heard a squeal while it was riding, some hesitation, then a burn smell like electrical, stayed on the gas until I got home. Stopped car, then try to go again and nothing happened no click no nothing. Switch to reverse nothing. I think starter/generator may have died. New to golf carts looking for some confirmation from veterans. Also car will not go back into gear right after I stopped. Not sure what's up there. Any help would be appreciated.

make sure you are in neutral THEN attach a jumper cable from +battery post and touch the other end to the large white wire on the starter/generator. it will spark and actually try to stick but it should turn over

Tried it sparks, did not turn over, I'm guessing that confirms it right?

That would be my guess but remove that belt and try to turn by hand
