Default Re: 98 DS Gas / Intermittent Slow/No Start then Fine

First point of business, Welcome to the nuthouse, some great people and talent here.
Remove the seat so you can watch what's happening, on the back side of the F/R shifter, there is a yellow plastic three lobe part that you can pull out and rotate until it locks back in place.
That is a "maintenance mode" safety interlock system that prevents you from accidently starting the cart in gear while working on it.
But don't forget to return it to the run position when finished or it will not start in gear.

Anyway, once in "MM", put the shifter in the middle of F-R and push the pedal, try to notice if the starter pulley is spinning under the belt or the starter is trying to spin but doesn't right away and then spins.
Try to describe what's happening under there and we can go from there.....
