I Purchased a 2005 Club Car last year from private party. Ran good several months. Suddenly started backfiring. Next, it started losing power. It would cut out, then chug a few times before finally grabbing hold and running, only to do the same thing again and again. The backfiring happened when I let up on accelerator. Mechanic got it, gave it a tune-up. Symptoms continued. Mechanic replaced carburetor, did other "adjustments". Problem of backfiring continued and got louder. Mechanic got it again, and did other "adjustments". This time the test run proved that it ran with more power than ever and the governor had been set to run at a higher speed when floored. Now, it begins backfiring when first starting out and continues. The cutting out only occurs when it has been run 5 - 6 miles. After 4 times in the shop, I am losing faith in this mechanic, but do not know anything about gas engines and how they work to offer suggestions. Any ideas and/or recommendations on good gas Club Car mechanic would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
