Problems starting

burrogrande · 12-06-2010, 04:02 PM

Hi,
I have not being using my golf cart for 3 weeks, and right now is impossible to start it.
Last time I did it, it was hard, but today is has been completely impossible.

Spark was working, gas on the tank...the start engine try it, but does not work.

Do you know is it a good idea to pull it with a rope with my car? Would it work?

Do not pull it with your car. Is the starter turning it over and the motor not starting?

Yes, just like you said
I have a video, but I do not know how to uploaded to the web.
Do you think it is not possible to start it pulling like a moped?

It won't just start by pulling it. I've tried it. Its not overly good for the cart either

Pull the plugs and see if they are soaked in fuel. Clean them up and re-gap to .28-.30 or install new. Is the gas getting old? Today's gas won't stay good for a couple of months

Charge up the battery to get some good spin. Clean the air filter or replace...No Towing..... Good Luck

The first thing I would do is check the fuel tank and make sure it has at least a half tank of gas. Then see if it is getting spark to the plugs. It could be flooding and if it is pull your plugs and clean them. You can take a long lighter keep your face and anything flameable a way from the sparkplug hole put the lighter in the hole and strick it and it will burn any gas in the spark plug hole. Do the other hole the same way. It will make a pop sound. Remember to keep yourself away from the flame. Then install your plugs(new ones) if you can. It should start then. Let me know if this helps.
