Those fumes are very much there.

Jimbo,

Kathy has a "super sniffer" and our Yamaha EFI gas cart engine doesn't bother her one iota. Previous gas cart rentals did, big time. I guess it's the magic of EFI, or something like that.

Have a good day! Always enjoy your posts, Jimbo.

Too funny.....You hit the nail on the head.....

When cigarette/cigar smoking is banned in the villages, then I will change to an electric cart. until then just hold your breath.

You all crack me up! I've only been on TOTV for two months and these gas vs. electric posts must get the most replies! And, they are always the same... gas owners love their carts, electric owners love their carts! What we need is a HYBRID golf cart... maybe that would be the answer!

my cat likes the smell of a sock. I don't know what to do with him.

But then gas carts don't leave a trail of battery acid stains and burns on the concrete everywhere they go either...fumes if there are any are soon gone, battery acid burns are on the concrete forever....check the cart paths on the golf courses and the parking areas at the country clubs, hugh stains and burns from battery acid.

To the gas owners just buy a gas mask and be done with it. To the electric owners buy a haz mat suit to prevent acid burns..

Then just put a small amount of Sta-Bil in the can everytime you fill it up with gas. There is a measuring indicator on the bottle. I would also recommend using high test gas. It's a little more money but I found my Yamaha cart runs smoother.

Nice cart!!! And thanks for the input.

We have a Yamaha gas efi cart. Don't really notice the gas smell of any ones cart in our travels. The only time I've only choked was when following the smell of someone sucking on a cigar like it was the last one they were gonna smoke that day.

I am concerned about the smell of gas. Are there any fuel additives to use? Any suggestions for the garage?
I would appreciate any reccommendations.

Ditto here. Any answers

We have one of each. I like our Yamaha gas the best. It is old too. We bought it used six years ago and it is still chugging along.


Sweeties par car has to be plugged into it's source every night. And it will go about 70 miles on a charge. Hardly EVER lets us down. But it has.
