G-1 Build Complete…but...

[cgulbraa1]

Hey guys, I finished this up last summer and haven't been on here in ages….but now it doesn't run! I can't let all this money and hard work go to waste.

It was running fine, but now half the time nothing happens when you hit the gas. If it actually does turn over, it doesn't really run. It seems to just crank and nothing happens.

Any advice? I'm going to college and had planned on using it to commute to class, that only lasted for a few days…it ran like an absolute top before all of this.

Hope you like the look of it though. Maybe it's time for an engine swap.

WoW!! Cart looks great!!

I would start by checking for loose or corroded wires, make sure to check the ground wires and fuses.

Check for spark.

Check for fuel pressure.

Check compression.

WOW, thats nice right there. I wish I could make mine look that good. Gotta few questions for you, did you buy your bumpers somewhere or did you make them. Also what about your lift is that a homade or suspension lift? Aand lastly when lifting the body to get to the engine compartment, do you have to take the top off? I see it looks like you took the support off the back and turned it around and use it on the front. Just curious

The bumpers i tabbed up myself. The lift kit is a Jake's kit. And yes, i unhook the supports at the bottom at the front and tip the roof and supports back with the body. It is kind of a nuisance, but i needed to have more support on my roof for the stereo.

I plan on putting a lexan or plexiglass windshield on the front to help take some of the way out. Front to back the roof is sturdy, but it whips side to side.
