g16 jerks when starting
Cart jerks when starting and then runs fine once it gets going. Would like to trouble shoot on possible causes and fixes.

Re: g16 jerks when starting
Have you done anything to it lately? changed anything? Had it in the shop?
Or has nothing been done and this suddenly just started occurring. |

I had to fix some wiring that got pulled down and rubbed to the wire causing a fuse to bust. This occurred a while after that though.

Re: g16 jerks when starting
Typically jumpyness is caused by clutches and/or drive belt. You should look at the clutches and see if you hear noises or anything wobbles. Inspect the belt to see if has any damage.

Re: g16 jerks when starting
The drive belt is not loose when sitting idle like it used to. Does that mean anything?

Re: g16 jerks when starting
Sounds like your primary clutch is "stuck closed". Most likley from a weight getting past a flat spot on a roller.

Re: g16 jerks when starting
If this is the case, its a dangerous scenerio for your engine (i learned the hard way). Dont drive it any more 'till its fixed. It could be a case of needing new rollers in the clutch, or it could be a case of the sliding sheave having a recess worn into it, causing the old roller to finish wearing out quickly. Need to remove the primary clutch & inspect.

Re: g16 jerks when starting
Thanks for the info. Sounds more involved than a simple fix and will take it to get looked at.
