Shimpy IMO you are very wise, may I ask how much oil does you cart hold, I guessing around 1 quart? If so 7 bucks every 4 months is very cheap engine insurance IMO.

Well, I guess I lost that bet..
Being mechanic for 45 years I would never leave oil in air cooled engine that long, but that me.. Not all gas cart exhaust omit obnoxious odor. Tunnels hold air if the wind not blowing like in Okkieland exhaust smell will build up (some tunnels are very busy, when I was there carts was lined up in peak times). So if you have several carts going in and out just like vechicle tunnels you will smell carbon oxide.
If your smelling oil (like the two stroke engine then something wrong with that cart. most likely with all the miles put of most these carts engines wear especially the the long oil change intervals
IMO of course .. I was going to buy used cart due to my ability to do repairs and routine maintenance. Now I think I'll just buy new not get burned on these HIGH mileage carts beings there are no cart faxes.
