So, I changed both my belts cause they were squeeling on start-up. Now, brand new belts, and it's squeeling a helluva lot louder, and it doesn't stop! Did I forget to do something....I have heard of a spray that will eliminate the squeeling...anyone?

 

Cheap belts?

Not tight enough or to tight?

 

hehe i have the same problem...i still haven't changed to new ones... will do that after the meet on saturday...i'll let you know if mine squeel

 

I agree with njmaxseltd that it's not tensioned correctly. Check belt deflection at the midpoint of the longest span between pulleys should not be more than 1/2 in. (13mm) with 22lbs. of pressure applied to belt.
