'94 Carryall motor won't engage
hello! This is my first post as I am new to golf carts. I bought a '94 Clubcar Carryall last year and we've slowly been fixing it up. I'm having an issue at the moment with the motor engaging. It has been temperamental from day one, but now it's down right stubborn. When I press the gas pedal the motor sounds like it's idling/cranking, but won't turn over. Its getting to the point where I need to press the pedal several times before it will start to crank and sometimes I need to push the pedal to the floor and let off slowly until the engine starts to idol. When I say Idol it's more like the engine is trying to turn over, but can't.
I just recently had the cart serviced and have new fuel filters and plug. As the engine continue to crank I can smell fuel. It's getting gas, but won't fire. If anyone can steer me in the right direction It would be greatly appreciated. |

Re: '94 Carryall motor won't engage
Thank you for the response. Based on the age and the conditions it was in (Dusty farm) I think a new carburetor might be the way to go. I was curious about the micro switches and igniter as well, but they are inexpensive enough that it might be worth replacing at the same time..
I haven't looked yet but are there some good videos or instructions on replacing the carburetor? I like to tinker, but in no way am I a mechanic. Oil changing is about all I got. If this would be a repair better left to the pros please let me know! Thanks again! |

Re: '94 Carryall motor won't engage
I was messing with the cart a bit today mainly to see what engine I had so I could order a few parts. The fuel filters were recently replaced and I noticed the filter on the line from the tank to the pump visible had gas in it. I also noticed the second filter doesn't have fuel in it. I'm not sure if this is a sign of another issue. Is there a way to check and see if the fuel filter is working?

Re: '94 Carryall motor won't engage
Are you getting fire? The filters can fool you as to how much is actually going through.

Re: '94 Carryall motor won't engage
Pardon my ignorance, but how can I check if i'm getting fire? The whole golf cart thing is new to me, but I am willing to learn as much as I can about this thing so I can be self sufficient when it comes to services and repairs.

Re: '94 Carryall motor won't engage
Ok misread a sentence above. I thought you said you were a mechanic. My bad.
Let's go back to square one. Is the MOTOR spinning over? Or just the starter/generator? |

Re: '94 Carryall motor won't engage
Definitely not a mechanic. When I press the pedal the engine cranks, but will not turn over. I sprayed starter fluid into the carburetor and it still didn't start up. This after noon I will check for a spark. I have a guy that works for me who is a part-time mechanic. He told me to pull the plug, reconnect it to the cable, and rest it on a piece of steel. Said if there is spark it's a fuel issue. Said if there isn't a spark to start addressing the electrical components (plug, cable, etc.). I'm going to try and down load a manual today so I can see how to trouble shoot the igniter and micro switches. I went ahead and ordered a new carb and fuel pump. Got both for a little over $20. It can't hurt!
