Squeal noise
On my 84 Gas ezgo there is a odd noise coming from the primary clutch or Starter/generator area. There close to each other so it's hard to pin point. It's a squeal type of noise. It only does it at low revs, when you first hit the gas and when it is almost to a stop. It is quit loud and don't know if it's normal. I just purchased the cart and has been doing it the whole time. It's also my first cart so know little and need help. Thanks Guy's

Re: Squeal noise
Sure its coming from around the starter gen?
Almost sounds a bit like a loose drive belt squeaking on start up/slow down when the clutch engages/disengages. And yes, this is not abnormal if you have an old worn drivebelt. My cart does this, and I need to go get a new belt, but I just keep procrastinating on it. |

Re: Squeal noise
It's hard tp pinpoint, If I had to guess it's coming form the clutch down by the crankshaft. If i give it gas but not enough to have the belt engage it still does it. I hope it is just the drive belt that would be an easy fix..

Re: Squeal noise
Try wire brushing the sides of the starter belt.

Re: Squeal noise
Try winding the drive belt off and running the engine. Be gentle with the throttle the clutch prefers to be under load.

Re: Squeal noise
Also, try moving the clutch up and down by hand and see if it moves. The squealing could be the sign of a failing bearing.
