Default Squeal on 2016 Drive gas

When I let off the gas at low speed, the motor stops and I get a squeal for just a few seconds. The problem is intermittent.

Example of when it happens - Pulling the cart out of my garage, I bump the gas backing out and let off. The motor will die and then you'll hear the squeal. It sounds like the belt or clutch area but I don't know much more about it. You can bump the gas again and it will not happen. It doesn't happen every time. I don't ever recall it happening at higher speeds.

For reference - the cart is new to me, just came from a shop where they service it and replace belts. So does a new belt have something to do with it?

Is it an aftermarket belt? OEM belt is the minimum best. Plowmans and GBoost have better, cogged performance belts.

I'm not sure about belt type...will look when I get home. Came from a pretty good dealer.

Are you thinking it could be the belt though?

Could also be the starter gen belt. Just a thought.
