cart only runs with choke
My club car will run for about 5 minutes and then it acts like it's out of gas. I have to push the choke in to keep it running. I noticed the air tube from the air box to carb will crush closed as I hold the choke in. I pulled the air tube off thinking it might be the air filter. But the cart will only stay running if I keep my hand covering about 80~90% of the air tube. I have taken the carb off and checked the float and cleaned the lines but it keeps shutting off on me. Anyone have any idea what it could be? I was going to take the carb apart tomorrow and clean it but wanted to see if anyone had any insight as what else I should look at.

Re: cart only runs with choke
Flow was very slow. little drops of gas were coming from the line. I pulled the pump and lines off and blew some air threw them and the tank. Now it seems to be running fine. I noticed when the motor started to die, the gas tank had a lot of bubbles in it. I think the breather was clogged on the tank.

Re: cart only runs with choke
Ok, it's right back to the same problem. After 2 weeks of running good the cart went right back to not wanting to run unless the choke is pushed in. Now when the gas pedal is pushed in, the cart will sit there and turn over like its going to take off but it's like it's not getting any gas until the choke is held in till the motor kicks on then let go of the choke and it will run. It will run good, once you stop and try to take off again the cart wont go. I have to hold the choke in till it starts to move and once it moves I can let go of the choke and sit there for about 5 seconds and it will take right off.
Anyone have any ideas what the problem is? |
