99 Club Car DS - Jerky start
Simple problem...when I push the gas pedal to the floor...it jerks, moves about 4 inches and stops. I can do this over and over again and it never starts. Sometimes reverse works a little better, but never forward. It is sporadic, but happens most of the time.
When I get off, jack up the rear, it cranks right up. I can get right back on and it starts and I can go. Take it down the road about a 1 mile and good for the rest of the day. Come back the next morning...same issue. Can only start if I jack up the rear. It has a 6" lift, full rear seat, and larger tires. I tried a new battery with higher "cranking amps" and it did not help. Intially I thought its just is too heavy to start on all 4 wheels (thus the jack up the rear). But, once it gets "warm", I can start just fine. Live in FL and it gets worst the hotter it is outside. In the cool weather, its better sometimes. Wanted to adjust the carb (also have a new one I have not installed yet), but don't even know if that has anything to do with it. I'm thinking I need a larger starter maybe? ALSO...it only has full speed and no speed. When I get on the gas...it gets to full speed real quick. But, when I let off the gas...it goes straight to slow. Almost snaps my neck off...big pain. Would prefer a smoother start and smoother slow down. Don't even need brakes, but need a seat belt to keep me from flying through the windshield when I let off the gas!! |

Install the new carb... I bet your existing one looks something like this!

Will do and let you know how it goes. Cool pic BTW. It looks exactly like mine w/lift and all except different color (metallic green).

What about ethanol? Do you have to add an additive or try to use gas w/out ethanol? Heard that ethanol can gum up the carb if its been sitting for too long.

but, if it sits for long periods, it's usually a good idea to use something! I, however... use Seafoam year-round in all my small engines because, then (I feel) I won't have future carb "gunk" problems! It's really a "to each, his own" thing! You may have to wait a bit... (a week) but, don't forget to post a pic of your cart! |

Check your clutches to make sure they are working correctly. Almost sounds like a broken weight link in the front clutch. As far as go fast then stop that may be a throttle cable adjustment. If you can get pics they would help a bit. If you are close enough to me I could come by and look it over.
