What can I do to stop the engine squeal?
In most cases, removing the moisture will stop the squeal. Allow the engine to run for a few minutes, then spray rubber dressing, also known as belt dressing, onto the belt in the same manner employed above. This will treat the belt and remove any further contaminants from the ribbed surface. As with the WD-40, do not oversaturate the belt.
