That guide was missing when you got the blower? Make and model numbers help us see what you have.

 

No it was not supposed to have that guide at all, there was a guide on the big plastic cover itself as protruding bulge on the inside, as someone here pointed it out it was completely worn out when I showed picture

 

I think you need to add one to the other side of the pulley, there's another tapped hole in the block where it should go

 

I was thinking about this, but wouldnt it counteract the belt tensioner from the auger lever?

 

Something not tracking properly there are you positive that you are using the correct sized belt?

 

Its the original belt that came with it when I bought ir brand new, it made squeak sound when I depressed auger lever since day one and still.

 

Is the belt's clutch properly adjusted? IIRC, my snowblower's belt has just enough slack to ease itself up and out of the pulley's V. Your picture shows a lot more slack than I'm used to seeing.

 

How do I adjust this?

 

Make a second one and put on left side. Adjust belt so they are not touching when auger lever is depressed.
I made my own guides on almost all of my custom machines. This is from my frankenblower project, can see build in my showcase.

 

Thx

 

Does not the upper wheel holding the auger belt always spin? Yours look like it spins on top only if it is depressed on the lever, since the belt looks so close to the wheel with the guides. Or am I wrong?

 

Who engineered the plastic BUMP!!??

 

Both belts are tightened by their free spinning idler pulleys to engage the auger and drive systems.

 

If I did this correctly here are two videos of what I'm talking about. My frankenblower setup and a machine I converted to 5/8 belt.

 

This looks good, I understand a bit more, thanks!

 

Test

First link and second link is without any guide used, in all of them, the belt seem to wobble regardless as seen in the video. So therefore I removed the previous guide on the left side (picture below)

So the belt wobbles enough to touch the guide on the left while holding the auger, therefore I removed it.

in the second clip, I just slightly tighten the wire for the auger handle, and this seems greatly reduce the second sound when I let go off lever, still squeak on depress tho.

On the third clip I added a new guide on right side, where it should come from the plastic cover, but it is worn out so I added finger guide, and it seemed to work slightly.

To now fit the new guide in place, I will need to slightly modify the plastic cover by cutting it, which is not a problem at this point or I could make a metal part inside where the plastic bump was for the plastic cover, as seen on another post here.

Appreciate any advice thanks.

 

The squeal that's annoying you is really a normal effect of belt clutches. Personally I don't mind it because the brief aggressive engagement will prevent it from ever becoming glazed. If you'd rather not hear it simply engage it gradually. Shaw's advice for setting guides is of course correct but when I set up a machine I set the idler so that it only backs tension off enough to allow the belt to slip, and just a touch more. There's no need for the belt to ever have more slack than that. No other guides are necessary.

 

A little belt dressing may help reduce the squeak.

 

After looking at your pictures & videos... it appears you have a red metal belt finger / guard on the right side of the machine already. I would put the finger back on the left side and adjust.
I would also recommend when engaging & disengaging the auger you should slowly & smoothly push the lever, not fast & abrupt.
