G9 wont turn over!!

[rockhoyle]

Please help??? going camping next weekend would like to get golf cart running for the kids!!! I have a g9 golf cart i purchased last year..it had sat for years ..I brought it back to life with help from all of u.. THANKS so much ..could not have done it without u guys

So my problem is will not even try to turn over ...NOTHING at all..checked fuse..its good.battery connection good...i think it has something to do with wire at gas pedal maybe??? idk

next the bottom of air filter is filling up with oil!!! Thats sounds bad, but hopefully not..:)

and last I need to find settings for carburetor ..I had them last year now i cannot find em.. would like to tear apart carb again and clean out!!! please help me..

Go to the sticky above; "so your yami won't turn over"

Drain oil and only put in one quart.

Idle mixture screw/pilot screw, turn in till lightly bottomed out, then back out one and one half turns to start with. If it has not been driven for a while, it may need the carb cleaned out like you said. Dump old gas and replace with new.

Good luck, Mike

thanx mike.. so the oil in air filters fine..thats just an overflow then??? prolly too much oil in it? any ideas on the starting problem?? thanks again

Rock, no, get the oil out of the filter, it may have ruined the filter by now. Oil on the filter will close the pours and the filter will not breath. Change the oil in the motor, put in only one quart. It had to much in the crank case, thats why it sucked it out the breather.

Then do the simple tests in the sticky. Follow Smallblocks instructions, that will tell you where the problem is.

Clean carb, dump old gas and replace with fresh.

Might even take a new spark plug with you.

There is an 18 gage wire connected to the starter ground lug, on the starter. It goes into the wire harness just in front of the starter, check to make sure it is clean and making a good contact, going into the harness.

More than likely, something simple!! Good luck Mike

Mike I'd be willing to put money if it just up and quit it's probably that switch on the gas pedal that failed

[Mike Mac]

Quite possible Caj. But the sticky should lead him right to it.

Yes thank you guys it was just a bad connection going to battery.. very simple to fix. Now still having problems with it running.. I have to choke every time i start it.. just for a quick second though.. and it fires up.. Also 1 more question I recently bought a new battery for my golf cart. I have to have cables on it from my truck for it to work.. I have been running it all day working on it and trying to adjust it.. but it wont charge it..as soon as i pull cables off and go it wont start back up..

[Mike Mac]

Now you need to find out why it is not charging. Need a GOOD,CHARGED ,BATTERY to start with.

[rockhoyle]

yes i am going to buy battery charger tomorrow

[Mike Mac]

You may need to search some, because I can't remember the steps to trouble shoot the charging system. Its in a thread somewhere, I have read it not long ago.
