- As others have suggested, add fuel stabilizer and fill the tank up.

- (ours has a carburetor) Either run the carb dry or drain the fuel bowl.

- Hook up a Battery Tender to the battery. It stays plugged in 24/7/365. Click this link ---> Battery Tender .

- Leave the brake off.

The above might sound a like a lot of tedium and/or a bit anal. But I have yet to have any starting/running issues with the cart after two+ years of using this process.

Everyone's got a different mindset about what they're comfortable with doing. This has worked for us!

Bill, which model of Battery Tender do you use for your golf cart - sounds as if I need to get one. Thanks! Lark
