squealing when i start my cb

[93 LX COUPE]

when i start my car i get a loud squeal from the engine compartment. i have tried to find out where it's coming drom by having someone start it for me. but i can't find it i'm quite sure it's one of my pulleys but don't know which one. has anyone had this problem before if so let me know. i hate that noise

well when i did that, that actually made it worse, but the belts arent that expensive, just replace them

they might just need to be tightend up, (maybe there to tight also)
when ever i did my alt they squeaked so loud
then i tightend them and it went right away,
if its a pulley, u might need to replace that part,

cold weather does it to me

adjust them. too tight or too loose will cause it. Moisture will do so also if their not tight enough.

It's probably the alternator belt. When you first start the car the alternator is under load trying to recharge the battery. It's a combination of the battery sitting overnight and the use of the starter motor.

Be sure to consult the manual for changing the drive belts. Noooooo they are not adjusted by prying with a crowbar. This aint a damned stovebolt chevy.
