G1 cart won't start it just backfires
My buddy has an older G1 cart that he is havng problems with. It was running fine and then it got to where it would just idle. It wouldn't get enough RPMs to move the cart. If we pushed it, it would go for a little ways and then quit again. Now it won't start at all, it just backfires. Any suggestions?

Re: G1 cart won't start it just backfires
More than likely it needs crank seals. It's not getting enough gas. Try running it with the choke pulled out about half way. Also check the fuel lines for cracks, could be sucking air.

Re: G1 cart won't start it just backfires
Thanks. How big of a job is it to replace crank seals?

Re: G1 cart won't start it just backfires
From what I understand, with the right tools it's not a tough job.

Re: G1 cart won't start it just backfires
Hopefuuly we won't have to find out. We are hoping it's just the fuel lines. He has pretty well replaced everything else since he bought it a few years ago. Would there have been any early warning signs if it is the crank seals?

Re: G1 cart won't start it just backfires
Over time the seals will wear out causing the engine to leak pressure. This lose of pressure will result in not enough pulse to run the fuel pump. Check behind the drive clutch for wetness on the engine. Bad seals will be blowing out a small amount of fuel/oil.

Re: G1 cart won't start it just backfires
We have an old G1 at the campground that needs seals and has been running OK with the choke knob out about half way. I used a small c-clamp to keep it in that position. New seals going in this winter!!

Re: G1 cart won't start it just backfires
Is there anywhere that I can find what is involved in replacing the crank seals?
