94 club car no power

[drjacobs]

I am new to this site, I am sure this has been asked before, my cart seems to run ok on flat ground but it will not pull itself up a hill at all you can walk faster then it will will go.

well it could be a worn clutch belt or clutch..............start with the belt 1st.......a new one.....................................

[drjacobs]

Thank you I have a new belt, the clutches seem to be workig fine, I read that putting a 1 inch shorter belt would help ??

[shadowman]

yes a shorter belt might help but if the problem is engine related its not gonna do you anything...........your saying it runs ok so thats why i suggested a belt??? have you tried tuning itup to see if that helps and is this something that just started or what???? how steep of hills ..............its a 10hp motor its going to slow down going up hills or inclines and even more so the longer and steeper.............so any background info on the cart.........did this problem just pop up....................................

Are you sure the rear clutch is closing back up to the lowest gear? Is the belt riding as high in the groove as possible when it is having this trouble?

Have you checked the compression of the engine?

Compression should be 156 to 185 psi according to the manual for your cart.

Here's a post with a link to the 94 CC manual. If you don't already have it I would recommend downloading it and saving it to your computer for future reference. There is a troubleshooting section in there with some other things you could check over.

When you hit a hill does the engine RPM stay high but the cart won't climb or drop off like the engine is struggling with the load. Knowing that will go a long way towards determining if it's the clutch/belt or the engine itself.
