Golf Cart will not turn over

[Dcchris]

Good Evening, About three weeks ago i was driving my golf cart and everything was fine. the next day i was gunna get it out but it would not turn over. It would act like it was gunna start but nothing happened so we first changed the spark plugs then we cleaned the carb and check all of the fuel lines and made sur that the fuel pump was working. After all done with that we tried getting it to turn over. i dont get why it starts but the engine wont like turn over so u can drive it. Does anybody know what i should should do now or what to check. Thank you

Are you saying it is spinning over and not starting or is the starter not turning the engine over at all or is it trying to turn it over but will not?

and Welcome Dcchris!

it spinning over but will not start i think i dont know how to describe it im not good with small engines

Dcchris, Just to simplify things lets establish a couple of common terms:
Turn over = what the starter does to the engine when it is trying to start. Same as cranking.
Start = When the cranking engine catches and begins to run unassisted from the starter motor.

So if I read you right she cranks but she won't start? Correct? You got fuel, what about spark and compression?
Can you verify either of those?

[Dcchris]

We check the compression and checked and seen if it had sparks and everthing was fine we got a spark and had compression

[crash12888]

What was the compression?
You have compression and spark so only thing left is fuel.
Pull the fuel line off of the carb, stick the end in a can or bottle and push the pedal, you should have gas pump out of the end of the hose.
If you do, then you most likely need to remove and clean the carb.
If you do not have fuel coming out of the hose you need to check for cracked fuel lines, clogged fuel filter, cracked or broken pulse hose, (this is the hose between the motor and the fuel pump)
Check these and get back with us.

ok i will do that Tomorrow or this weekend when i have more time

Now we are getting somewhere I think Crash would like a Number on that compression test too.... remember fully charged battery and throttle wide open for the test

sry guys i went by what one of my buddies told me they just stuck their fingers in the spark plug holes while we pushed the gas and he said it had compression lol so should i go buy a tool to so i can see how much compression their is
