Default New-to-me 1997 Club Car Carryall II plus *project*

I picked up a Carryall 2 plus with front mechanical brakes, a cab, and a manual dump bed!

It doesn't run and it came with 2 flat tires. I brought it home in the bed of my pickup truck, and had to change out the rear tires while it was still loaded in the bed.

Luckily, Mazda Miata spare tires fit well enough to get it unloaded (4x100 vs the 4x101.6 on carts).

I stopped by the local golf cart refurbisher and scored 4 "looks new to me" stock tires and rims for less than the cost of case of cheap beer! So this situation has been rectified.

First question as I start to bring her back to life:

Do any of you fine folks know what these unused brackets are on the rear axle?

Looks like maybe someone added those on, with a sway bar or helper spring or something attached to the front of them? I have a 2001 (I think) Turf 2 and it doesn't have those brackets.

They're factory. Sway bar / shock brackets.
The rear holes were used on other vehicles with a different suspension setup.

Thanks for answering my question about the purpose of those extra brackets. It's good to know it's for an alternate application and that nothing is missing.

Tonight I picked up a set of 10" aluminum wheels from a guy who had upgraded, I think they are stock OEM Club Car wheels and I like them.

Today I did most of a tune up (I did not adjust the valves). I pulled the fuel tank out and cleaned the chunks out of it, and the bad gas - it was nasty. New parts include: battery, oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plug, diff gear oil, two fuel filters, all fuel lines and a carb rebuild.

I couldn't find any rebuild kits for the little Keihin BBKL carb, so I took mine apart carefully and cleaned it. I ended up having to make one gasket, it wasn't that bad.

I got an honest 5 hours of work done on the cart today, not including an hour of parts chasing.

If yours has the FE350 Kawi motor in it, there probably is no valve adjustment. Mine is a 2001 and has HLA's.
