Don't tell me gas carts don't have problems - and they are serviced yearly.

Besides that OP, if you have a wife, they WILL complain about the gas smell, even if you don't (just guessing you are a guy).

One last thing - why would you spend 20 grand on a star cart when you can get a fully loaded Evolution D5 for about $12 grand. Go drive one at Hidden Creek Golf carts - across the highway from Brownwood behind the emergency center and McDonalds. The villages golf carts has a very high opinion of themselves based on their prices..... Full disclosure, we just got a D5 after a long search. Make sure you get the large battery. I wouldn't worry about anything over 50 miles, thats a lot of time in a golf cart, and I LOVE riding in Golf carts..
Wow! Calling your need of having gas cart issues over the last 10 years. You can just drive them till failure. Or, hear me out, do a lil preventative maintenance on them.
If you are blowing belts on a Yamaha, you are doing something seriously wrong.
During my years overseeing a fleet of 70 gas carts that run 36 holes, 7 days a week for 5 years, a blown belt is not in my vocabulary.
