2003 Club Car DS - Spark Problem
Hello all, I'm new to this forum and I must say, I've seen some great stuff on here. Thanks to everyone for taking time to answer questions for folks.
I recently picked up a 2003 gas Club Car DS that is having a starting issue. At first it was an intermittent spark problem...it would run fine sometimes and on the same trip, it wouldn't run at all. When I pulled the plug out, I had no spark. Now, I get no spark at all. So, I tried what a few people on this forum had suggested and removed the brown ground wire on the RPM limiter. After doing this, the cart starts every time. I'm assuming this means that the RPM limiter is bad? Is that correct? Could it be anything else? If I press the gas pedal to the floor, it seems that the engine speed is still limited in some way. Is that the governor keeping the speed down? If this is the case, is it ok to leave the RPM limiter disconnected from the cart? Will it cause any long term engine damage as long as the governor is working properly? Thanks in advance for your help! Darren |

You can either buy a tachometer or get a multi-meter that will read rpm's

Re: 2003 Club Car DS - Spark Problem
disconnecting the limitor was meant for diagnostic purposes only but as mentioned you can run it that way you just need to be careful cause yes you can cause engine damage ..............i have seen plenty of carts that were blown up because of the kids just riding with the pedal to the floor but if its just you and you know better than its your choice, now if it were me i would replace it because thats the proper thing to do even though its not the cheapest part..................................
