G14 Help!!!

clayfor · 08-06-2012, 05:48 PM

My G14 was running then quit like running out of gas. I was getting no fuel from the pump so I put a new fuel pump on. Pumped gas great. Took it out for a ride and it quit again like running out of gas. Not pumping fuel again. Any clues??? Thanks!!!

Check all the lines for cracks, especially the pulse lines and fuel intake lines. Check fuel tank vents or run with gas cap loose. It is common for lines to crack and need replacing on older carts, but not hard to fix. Also note a pulse pump can have a hard time priming if gas level in tank is low, that is why a little air leak will take the prime away if fuel is low.

Sounds like the tank isn't venting properly. Try it with the cas cap loose.

Or just do what sho suggested since I read his post after I posted.

Thanks guys!! I haven't been able to work on it yet. Will this Saturday. I've decided to just replace all the hoses and fuel filter. I did try running it with the gas cap off, but that didn't help. Thanks for the input!!!

If none of the above works try hooking a house to the pulse vent on top of the motor and blowing through it...sometimes on rare occasions the engine sludge clogs this up and causes this problem

That's a good idea!! I'll do that too!! Thanks!!!!

Okay Guys, Thanks for all your help. I think it was the gas cap. I checked all the lines, filter and blew through the pulse line to check for pluggage. Everything was good. I removed the gas cap and it started up. I drove it around for a while no problems. I think it's fixed. I hope. Thanks Again!!!
