The loaners they use are current models so I can't say they were old buckets. What is with that herkey jerkey movement with the Quiet Techs? I'm just not used to that. My electric cart is smooth as silk in reverse and going forward from a full stop
Carburetor carts are jerky ones and smell worse due to enriched fuel air mixture. Most don’t know how to operate choke on cold starts. Even after carburetor carts warmed up still jerks in reverse and stinks more due to In efficiency of carburetor. Fuel injected carts preform much better, but still tricky when backing up feathering the gas pedal to eliminate jerking when too much throttle applied. Carburetor carts are just about done or will be in near future in GC junk yard. Some older electric carts can be bit jerky in reverse if got heavy foot. Electric carts are good for those that want them. In ten more years gas carts will be making exit and so will lot of use old fuddy duds. Bottom line buy what want and be happy.
