89 marathon gas cuts off after 20 minutes
I have an 89 Marathon cart that will cut off after about 20 minutes of driving and then will start up after about a 10 minute cool down period. It will try to run but it sounds like the gas wont rev up on it. Any ideas????

Re: 89 marathon gas cuts off after 20 minutes
When it quits,will the starter turn-over or does the solenoid just click?If it just clicks,The starter solenoid/relay is overheating.If this has been getting worse over time,its' a good indicator that the relay is on its' way out.Hope this helps.

Re: 89 marathon gas cuts off after 20 minutes
No it actually turns over fine but it is almost like it won't rev up enough to kick in. I thought it might be the coil so i watered it down after it cut off but I don't know if it helped and then I releived the gas pressure on the tank and I don't think that helped either. Now it is even worse as it just putters now and won't really go anywhere. I think I will get a new spark plug wire and plug tomorrow.

Start with the basics,Plug,wire,ck spark,& make sure its getting fuel.Try a shot of starting fluid or carb cleaner,if it fires then its' a carb or fuel-pump issue.If the gas is old,drain the tank completely and add some fresh high-octane.Hope this helps.
