noisy clutch

beer man · 02-23-2010, 08:12 PM

hi i just bought an 85 gas club car and dont really no much about it. i do know when something doesnt seem right though. The motor itself sounds great it seems from whot i have read on other postings to have so work done to it but the front clutch is very noisy. It sounds like a knock in the motor but its only at a high rpm. When you run down the road it just sounds as if it is doing a whole lot more then it is. I have a new belt and its got about 1 inch of play to it but golf carts are new to me so im not really sure what it could be any suggestions ?????

not at all the guy i got it from told me he just got it as well and he has worked on carts he put synthetic in it and its topped of. but its just weird the motor sounds like its just gonna keep going but the cart itself just wont keep up i thought the brakes were stuck and they do stick so i soaked them in some blaster and they seem ok they dont any more but you can deffinatly here that front clutch

High rpm, its time (right now) to start taking things off and inspecting them.
Sorry but the terms knocking, ticking, whining and so on are hard to covey
through a key board. A piece by part inspection is in order here.

#1 , time to get the grease gun and oil pan out.

Grease everything, change all fluids, never believe what a seller tell U. (unless it's me)

my clutch was doing the same thing at high rpm's .well it broke loud bang and the cltuch was out .It's down at cpp right getting rebuilt or a comet installed.you better have some one look at it or spend $$ for a new clutch or have it rebuilt for 100$ .mine sounded like a whistling noise or a winning .i thought it was just a loose ball bearing

oh all of that makes sense ill have to start looking at it this weekend work has just been killing me. im still leaning towards the clutch cause its starting to pop at take of so i guess ill see what happens, but now once i drive for a lil while its acts llike its not getting fuel so im gonna go through the carb this weekend. It doesnt suprise me though about the cart the guy i got it from had mixed the fuel like its a chain saw so hell if i no what else will go wrong
