Another member with a '91 Club Car having the same issue. Check in here. We're thinking he may have an ignition coil issue:

I read that post before I started this one. I have good spark all the time though. Its blowing fuel out of the intake side of the carb. I can shut the fuel off and it still does it.

I did ground the plug and have visible spark. Is it possible its a weak spark? 1.99 for a new plug I think I'm going to try it first.

Ok I changed the plug and still no better. Its blowing fuel out the intake side of the carb and starts and dies only when i choke the carb with my hand.

ok dirty carb or stuck valve , most likely dirty carb but first take a can of starting fluid and give it a shot and see if it fires up for a few seconds , if it does then you need to pull the carb and clean it up , also how old is the gas you are trying to fire , i would bet you have water buildup in the carb due to the ethanol in the gas absorbing water , that will cause this problem and i be you find water in the bowl or at least the brown goo. clean the carb and change the gas and filters and you should be good to go

I just took the carb apart and it was pretty clean. I used a half can of carb clean and took it completely apart. Back together with fresh fuel and new filters. Still chugging and sputtering and spitting fuel out of the intake side of the carb. I'n stumped unless I have a stuck valve?

did you run torch tip cleaners through the ports and make sure they are clear and what was the age of the gas you put in , more than three weeks old and its worthless

After spending all day trying this and trying that I'm pretty sure my coil is weak. I'll have moments when It runs fine and then it will start spitting fuel from the carb. I've noticed when it does that the spark seems to get weak. Has anybody ran into this before? Coil's for this cart are hard to come by.
