NOT smooth running
I have a 97 gas club car. this cart has ran great for years. I ran out of gas, filled up ran good a couple rounds, then just died. wouldn't start. so I put in new plug, started right up. Problem is, its all or nothing. When I press on the gas pedal, its all out, goes approx. 5 sec then dies, then picks up and repeats this over and over. I can still get around the course, but very annoying. Also smells like its flooded. Please help, I'm not much of a mechanic.

Re: NOT smooth running
More info would help. Does it backfire? When it dies. If you keep the same throttle position. will it pick it back up? However my first thought would be ignition. The coil or rev limiter.
Hope this helps. |

Re: NOT smooth running
yes, it does backfire, not always. Even if I barely push the gas it goes full out, then dies, and yes if i keep the pedal in the same spot or depress it more it will pick it up. Thanks

Re: NOT smooth running
Well that was the first thing I checked, thinking it was stuck open. The throttle plate seemed to operate fine. I will check it again to make sure. Thanks!

Re: NOT smooth running
If the carb checks out. Disconnect the rev limiter and give it a try.

Re: NOT smooth running
well I checked the carb. seems fine. Disconnected the ground on the rev limiter. Now instead of it running then dying, and repeating. It just goes full out until I let off the gas. Which is better, but I feel like I'm going to blow the engine. In other words, I don't think that was the problem. Any more suggestions? Thanks again!

Re: NOT smooth running
Well... if your absolutely SURE your butterfly isn't broken, (99.8% the case for a "all or nothing" scenario)
The next thing I'd look at is checking to see if the throttle return spring is disconnected/broken! (#15) Its kind of hard to see with the linkage cover on (#9), but, it is possible! Intakecarb.jpg |
