A few days ago filled at Lake Sumter (when the problem started) I suspect fuel. So I’d rather not spend a lot of money with a repair if it maybe something simple.

I am thinking "dirty fuel injector". Are “FUEL INJECTOR CLEANERS" safe for Golf Carts ?
Perhaps I am barking up the wrong tree ? Appreciate any good suggestions.
Thanks.
Same here. The golf service guy put some cleaner in the gas, that helped for a bit but then it’s back. Not knowing much about these things I’m wondering if it’s a bad spark plug or a clogged exhaust filter, apparently these things have some sort of Brillo pad in the exhaust that’s supposed to help with something or other. Also noticed a lack of power too.
