how tight...
How tight should the drive belt on a golf cart be? My cart would putt putt but not go any where. I lifted the seat and could see the drive belt spinning around. eventually it grabbed and off I went. After about 4 holes it seemed okay. I could move the belt by hand. Is it possibly something in the primary drive? Like I said after the first initial problem it seemed alright. My cart is a 1980 ez go gas.

Re: how tight...
