Re: Low power at low throttle
AAHHH you are right, I was thinking club car when I looked at the tag. MFG is A301, which would be a 01 correct? Series 1338993
The belt measures right at 1 1/8 maybe 1 5/16 |

Re: Low power at low throttle
OK, *whew* now we're on track, LOL ... Dont count the fuzzy part at the edge when You measure the belt, best to use a caliper and snug it up a bit to get an accurate reading, but if You're at 1 1/8 with a tape measure (ish) then yeah, that belt is definitely due for replacement, and could easily be causing the slippage and loss of power at low speeds. For a 2001, I'd go with the 27077-G02 belt, it's a bit tight to get on and will take a week or two to break in (which isn't a huge deal, it'll just give a little bit of a jerky start til it does) but the difference over a good stock belt is night and day, in your case with the worn belt it should MORE than do the trick (and at under $35 it's due anyhow so You're not wasting any $$ to try that first)

Re: Low power at low throttle
Stick that old belt somewhere inside the cart. Might save the day sometime.

Re: Low power at low throttle
Got the new belt in and installed. The cart is better but the belt still seems to slip. I can now drive up on my trailer with out a running start, but you can feel the clutch / belt grabbing as you go up. You can also hear a slight click when the clutch disengages.

Re: Low power at low throttle
Give the belt a little wear in time. I replaced my 21 year old belt (1996) this summer with the shorter one. It was jerky and slick at first but is now better. A lot more torque and shifts better, keeping the revs up at very low throttle to give more control when doing things like loading and threading thru tight trees.

Re: Low power at low throttle
sounds like its in the clutch, i think they make a rebuild kit with new springs for the clutch system, but im not 100% sure, id wait till one of the other members suggest the same thing.
