Re: accelaration problem
I'm going to kind of guess at this for now. Need a little more info. But, it sounds like maybe your motor mounts are worn, tention cable broke or out of adjustment under the air filter, or worn clutch. This model also has a rev limiter that will cause the engine to shutdown at a certain rpm and then pick back up after letting go of the throttle. But, I'm thinking you got something that is not keeping tention on the drive belt. Jack the back of the cart up for safety purposes, put it in neutral, run it and see if the belt rises all the way to the top of the front clutch and down the back clutch. Notice if the engine moves back quite a bit.
And Welcome to BGW! |

Re: accelaration problem
There are 2 clutches, one on the motor, and one on the transmission. Sounds to me like both clutches may need to be greased( if they are not warn out). These guys know what they are talking about, They'll get you going!

Re: accelaration problem
Quick lesson, golf carts have two clutches, a "drive" clutch which is on the motor and a "driven" clutch that is on the transaxle.
As engine RPM increases weights in the drive clutch move the two halves together causing the belt to move to the outer diameter of the clutch. As it does this the driven assy. moves apart allowing the belt to move lower in the driven clutch. This is how the drive ratio is changed to increase start off torque and then higher travel speed. There is a grease fitting on both clutches. The drive clutch fitting is on the outer rim and the driven clutch fitting is on the lower inside toward the transaxle, couple 2 or 3 shots in each might help. Put your cart in neutral, raise the seat and push the pedal. Watch to see if both clutches are cycling through this process. I would think one or both of your clutches is sticking and need a good cleaning. Edit: Ya beat me to it Mike, I type too slow........... |
