2000 Club Car DS Gas flooding out
 
Need help. I have a 00 Club Car DS gas with a 290. It floods out after about 30 sec. I've replaced spark plug, carb (cheap amazon one and club car one) fuel pump, fuel lines, filters, air box, and coil. I've taken the air duct off the carb and it doesn't help either. It seems to have gas in the oil too. I adjusted the rocker arms to make sure they weren't too tight. It has compression and runs great for a short time once it burns all the old fuel up.

Did you replace all that stuff BECAUSE it was flooding out? or for other reasons?

Typically if it's flooding it's either dirt not allowing the float needle to seat, or I've had a few of them now that the o-ring on the back side of the seat where the plastic seals to the aluminum carb housing, will leak through that o-ring despite the needle seating fully.

All it takes is one spec of sand in there for it to flood. Doesn't take much at all. However, in replacing all the other stuff (coil, fuel pump, etc) if you used aftermarket parts, you very well may have actually created more problems than you started with. AFtermarket coils are known to fail very quickly. I've had bad aftermarket fuel pumps out of the box, or within 10 minutes of run time. Buying a Mikuni fuel pump is very important, you can get a briggs and stratton mikuni on amazon for around 20 bucks and it's the same thing as the OEM club car, just has a B&S logo tooled into the plastic. You can get an OEM coil from david hicks, I wouldn't buy an ignition coil anywhere else.

First you need to drain the oil and get the gas out of there. It's going to do nothing good. Then I would give them OEM carb a good cleaning and make sure the needle is seating all the way, and the o-ring on the back side of the seat isn't leaking. IF it is, buy a new OEM carb. Yes they're expensive but it beats trying 20 aftermarket ones and hoping one of them isn't garbage straight out of the box.

I was having issue with it dying out while driving before. That's when I put an Amazon carb on. I then put an OE coil, pump,and Carb on it. If I turn the gas off at the tank valve it will fire off and run until it burns the fuel out of the bowl. If I open the valve it starts up, but then floods out again. I'm going to drain the oil tonight.
