Cart had annual service about 2 months ago. I only use premium gas from the Villages. Always filled at Spanish Springs (never a problem). 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.
Sounds like the same problem we had with our cart when it was new. We took it to The Villages Golf Carts in Brownwood (where we bought it) and the mechanic told me that whoever setup our cart failed to do the air filter breather box modifications. It’s an easy fix involving drilling a hole and rerouting a breather tube. It allows the engine to breath easier.
Take it to your dealership or have a cart tech come to your place to perform the modification.
