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.
I had the same thing, as well as some hesitation issues. Replaced the battery and issues solved. I also add some Techron to the gas periodically. I use regular gas, not the rec blend.
