Idling my cart
Been kicking around the idea of idling my 01 ds, was looking at just unplugging the black wire out of the bottom mico and turning the idle adjustment up on the carb. So cart will still peddle start but will just have to turn the key off to kill motor if need to change from forward to reverse or visversa.
My question is to ones that have done this, i was looking for some pro's n con's from your exsperainces, The two reasons why I was thinking of doing it is because, 1) I run only one battery and thought it might help save on the battery from the stop n goes (battery draw), 2) there are two different hills we go up and down a lot ( gravel roads) but are steep enough that we ride/ feather the break peddle and loose cart power in the process. Sorry for any type-o's lol bad speller on a cell phone that has auto fill so if it don't make since I'll try to clean it up on home putter later. |

Re: Idling my cart
I've had my cart idling for almost three years now, ( ummm... not continuously! )
And based solely on MY experience, there are more Cons, then Pro's, but, most of the Con's are minor, as long as you are aware of them! Pro's:
Con's:
There may be more Con's that I can't think of right now, but, that's most of them. And I've read where some just can't get it to idle without "creeping" or "stalling". (again... the need for a 200 rpm spring) But, with all of MY "Con's", I deal with them, only because of the one "Pro"... it's cool! .02 |

Re: Idling my cart
Thanks lock, I'm getting ready to do a clutch rebuild and was already thinking of adding the 200 rpm spring, I'm only riding about 3/4 up on the clutch now so I'm going to wait till after the clutch and belt repair/swap to do the idling mod I think.

Re: Idling my cart
It wouldn't hurt to try it now, (as long as your cart is running)
if it doesn't work... plug the wire back in! |
