'82 G1 won't run
Cut me some slack here. I fix animals not golf carts. My '82 G1 quit running. The starter generator runs fine. Plenty of gas to the carb, good spark. Carb issues or am I missing something simple?Thanks in advance.

Re: '82 G1 won't run
One of the experts here will reply I'm sure, but my experience thus far, which isn't very much, is the spark plug is very fussy. A new plug is cheap, might be worth a try.

Re: '82 G1 won't run

Re: '82 G1 won't run
Only the starter-generator runs but the engine won't turn over, nada. Plenty of fuel going to the carbeurator but nothing from the engine.
Thanks |

Re: '82 G1 won't run

Re: '82 G1 won't run
Most of the G1's with this problem end up being a clogged muffler. There is also an exhaust valve that hooks into the carb. linkage. Make sure it hasn't gotten stuck closed.

Re: '82 G1 won't run
I'm not much of a mechanic but a good detective would want to know when did this start, suddenly? Was it running good before?
C'mon Doc. Wife's a Vet....we need more case history. LOL |
