Squealing Noise When Pedal is Pressed (Not Belts)
 

2010 Yamaha Drive

My cart sometimes makes a high pitched squealing noise when the pedal is pressed. I can usually take my foot off and press it again and it goes. The problem is this is not a belt slipping issue. I got it to replicate the sound while I was watching all the pulleys and none were moving. It does seem to do this more when it has been driven a while.

I've tried searching on here for a solution but this is usually a drive or gen belt slipping issue.

Thank you for any help you guys can provide.

If you step on the pedal and the pulleys don't move, then the starter gen is not spinning, correct? I'm betting you have a starter/gen issue or low battery voltage.

Does it do this only when in forward? Does it do this while in neutral?

Make sure the starter shaft is not spinning in the starter pulley.
That is just a friction mount, no splines so a loose nut will let it slip.
