2005 Club Car problem
I have 2005 gas Club Car that I keep at my local golf course in Alberta, Canada. In late April I will be getting it ready for the 2013 season.
Last fall, I was having some issues where, although the engine was turning over, the cart would not move unless I pumped the gas pedal a few times. I found that if I gave a surge of gas before after I stopped, the cart would usually start to move ok next time. I changed out the belts, gas filters and spark plug, with no improvement. Could this be a carburator/choke problem? I read some time back about a micro-switch on the gas pedal causing problems, but I am not sure if my cart has one, but if so are these the symptoms I would expect? With the engine turning over ok, I assume the solenoid would not be the problem. Any ideas as to the cause? |

Gas cart problem
The fact that the engine turners over eliminates most of the electrical issues. It sounds like a fuel flow problem and most likely a float problem in the carb. The needle and seat could be leaking off while sitting causing you not to have reserve fuel for start up. We are finding a good amount build-up in the carbs when we remove and dismantle, we then soak in acid and reassemble and adjust.

Once I get home, I will pull the carb and clean it. Is there a commercial acid bath solution that I need to ask for? |

Acid Solution
It comes in a gallon can with a basket for soaking and is available in all auto parts stores and in some Walmarts for $ 18-23.
Be sure to remove and rubber and gaskit material before soaking. Regarde, Frank |
