Hello i have a issue with my 92 club car.It has a delay when you hit the gas ,it will click but nothing then about 25 -30 secs later it will go.Now the cart runs perfect beside this issue.Now sometimes it will click and its does nothing while holding pedal down then boom its gone or you can push the pedal down and you can see and hear the mtr but still hesitates.Any ideas?

I am no expert, but it sounds a lot like the symptoms my old EZ Go exhibited when the clutch was not releasing. The starter did not have the power to make anything spin at all untill the clutch would pop loose.

Wow, I can't believe there has been no input here from the pro's. Must be a slow night.

Hey I'm no pro but will try to help.
Mark, Make sure you have a fully charged battery, check each end of both battery cables for corrosion or loose lugs,
Even if they look good, give a good tug on them. A voltage check will show 12V on a corroded cable but the corrosion could choke the amps down to cause this problem.
Also if all checks out, you will need to check the brushes in your starter/generator for wear, If you need to replace them I would suggest you pull and clean the armature or have a shop do it so you can reassemble it knowing it is right and not look back.
Keep us posted on your findings..
