Be prepared if you switch over to the ethanol free gas. I have a 2011 Yamaha cart I bought new. For the first four years I used regular ethanol gas and put in the outboard additive. After the Marathon Station opened on 466A, I decided to switch to the non-ethanol gas.
First time out I played 18 holes at Belle Glade and it ran fine. As soon as we departed the golf course the cart choked and I could only get it to go 4 mph, if I pressed the pedal anymore it would die. I eventually got home in about an hour in the Sterling Hgts (Yankee Clipper/Southern Star) area.
I called Willie, who does my in home service on my cart. He came right out and said what happens is with the old gas ethanol builds up deposits in the fuel line and carburetor and the new gas breaks loose all those deposits. He flushed out my system and ever since the cart has been running great. Much better than it did on the old gas.
