Whenever i step of the gas and decelerate somthing starts squealing. I'v replaced the drive belt but it still does it. Any ideas what's going on and how to fix it?

Did you by-chance scrub the new belt with hot water and dish soap? ( Dawn works well) This helps remove mold release agents left by the manufacturing process.

a quick way to see if the belt is squealing or making noise it to give it a shot of carb cleaner, dont soak the belt just a few sprays, it wont hurt the belt but if the noise goes away or changes you know its the belt or build up on the pullies then you can take it apart and clean it correctly..
