If you have had experience with a company and don't mind sharing, I would appreciate your recommendations

I do not claim to be an expert. But, I do wonder. A golfcart, it is a 12 hp air cooled engine.
I holds a quart of oil. My opinions. Do you need a new spark plug every year-I don't think so. Do you need a new air filter every year-depends how dusty it is where you chose to run it. Easy to look at it. Do you need a filter-perhaps not. Replace the belts every year? Do you replace the belts in your car every year?
As far as alcohol free fuel an endless debate. The 10% alcohol in gasoline for cars does not really make sense it is a farm subsidy that like most things will not go away. Alcohol actually has less potential energy per gallon than does gasoline and it is more expensive per gallon than is gasoline. That is not reflected in the pump price for the alcohol free fuels offered for sale. Alcohol easily mixes with water and can absorb water from our humid air. My OPINION for those who store their golf cart for months on end, I would add one of the marine grade stabilizers to a full tank of gas before putting your golf cart into storage. I would use the one that says for fuel with alcohol
Our golf cart, is EFI it is ten years old. I use regular automobile fuel, the one with alcohol in it. The difference between gasolines is the detergent package added at the end. Till it gets to the tank farm it all travels in the same pipes so it is the same. I use one brand of gas-SHELL. They have one of the best detergent packages. We signed up a while ago and have a card that gets us is discount from pump price and we get discount prepaid cards from our credit card points and from out grocery store.
