I was objectionable to having a Curtis cab. Really enjoy ours . no fumes inside. I think you have an issue.

Another good reason to not own one. They are a pain in the you know what if you use it to play golf and if you are tall.

Writer said cart was new. These are all fuel injected. When I ride in my cart with the canvas covers awnings down, smell is unbearable

I have a 2015 Yamaha fuel injection with the Sleekline Cab with no issues at all. If you purchased a New Yamaha Cart with the Curtis Cab Bring it back to the Dealer for a repair. You stated you purchased new but you didnt say how old the cart is??? Your Dealer should be ablr to resolve your issue.

Just a quick follow up and clarification. I ordered this golf car to be built and picked it up brand new 11/2/23. I took it in for service to have the issue addressed yesterday and picked it back up this morning. I was told that the throttle body butterfly needed to be adjusted because it was open at idle. The Air Box Modification that should have been completed at build was only partly complete. All this was taken care of and after driving the car home 5 miles it appears that the issue is resolved. I'll post again if it still needs addressed.

So good to hear that you took it in and the problem was corrected!

I have a 2023 Yamaha with a Curtis Cab and there’s zero exhaust fumes so take it back to the dealer ASAP.

Should have gone electric. Virtually maintenance free and no exhaust or gasoline smells. Gas carts also have a myriad of parts to fail compared to hardly any on an electric cart. I love my Club Car DS electric cart. It is 24 years old and has never left me stranded.

“Bought it at The Villages Golf Cart store”…there lies most golf cart problems.
