Fuel Pump?
was driving my 94 Club car when it started to get sluggish, There is a filter that comes right off the fuel tank before the fuel pump. There is very little fuel in this first filter and I'm wondering if it is the pump it's self. Any Sugestions. I tried posting this before but I may have posted in the wrong area

Re: Fuel Pump?
Follow your fuel line to the carb. Remove the line from carb, put cart in service mode and press gas pedal so that engine spins over and you should see fuel coming out of line if pump is good. Not always will filters stay full of fuel. Keep us posted!!

Re: Fuel Pump?
pulled of hose from carb and fuel coming out ok, seemed like cart wanted to run fine with hose off. as soon as I put the hose back on all it did was sputter and not engage. whats your thoughts. new plug a few days ago, could it be fouled already?

Re: Fuel Pump?
Pull the vent line off carb and try again. Vent line could be stopped up, seen this happen a lot. Also check air filter box and filter as well. We had a 93 full of mud dobbers in the plastic part you push in to choke it and cleaned the holes out and ran fine.

Re: Fuel Pump?
ok checked everthing you said with the air flitler, cleaned it and pulled hose off carb with no avail. Had the same problem a few weeks back and changed the spark plug and it went right away. on a hunch I changed the plug again and it fired up imediately. Not entirely sure but spark seems week. After running it with poor spark on a new plug could it only be a matter of time before the plug gets fouled and this happens again? Could it be just a matter of changing the plug cap or the cap and wire I would assume you would just change out the whole thing but looking for your thoughts? I didn't pull the cap and wire off as I'm not sure if there is a process to removing it.
Thanks |

Re: Fuel Pump?
plug is a NGK BPR6ES. Seems as tho after aboout 20 holes or so the plug is blackened. Not sure if the revs are not high enough to burn off the carbon. I took one out today that was black and leaned it up and it went right away, after a short time, it strarted to spudder again and the plug was black again. Put it in service mode with no load on the engine and it will start to go. Kinda strange. Not sure if I need to increase the revs so it will burn off the the plug. What do you guys think?
