I had the carburetor cleaned last year and problem persisted so had carburetor replaced.

This is one of the best reasons to stay away from Villages Golf Carts for repairs.

I use a product called Seafoam, at any auto part store. Cleans all fuel lines. Awesome product, but read directions.

Mopper, you've had a lot of suggestions and comments. I would love to know what your final solution was. After you finally correct the problem, could you give us all a final post with the solution. I'm sure everyone of us is curious.

Willie is the absolute best golf cart person!
Does Willie come to your hame? Also, does anyone know what the G14, G18, G22 means when ordering parts? I have been through my owners manual and it does not say.

If it is running and suddenly seems to die or slow it might be a bad fuel pump or a plugged fuel filter.

Sounds like a fuel filter or fuel pump!! Possible loose electrical but not likely.

You have received good suggestions! Usually but not always fuel will show other signs of spit n sputter, sea foam is great. For small engines I use high octane no ethanol. But switch, electrical wire, loose connection, battery n connection, I also had kink in fuel line. Get it checked out by a good mechanic n establish a relationship with him/her. Might be great to do!

To answer your first question, YES Willie's does come to your home and does both annual service (eg oil changes, etc) and repairs. I have found them to be honest, reliable, and fair in their pricing.

To the 2nd part of your question, I have I have no idea what the G numbers mean but I suspect Willie would know.
