gas in the oil
I have been trying to get this problem fixed ever since I got this cart. Its a 2001 gas club car. 6 inch lift and 22-11-10 tires. Fe290 engine.
I check the engine oil often and it has a trace of gasoline in the engine oil. I have checked the carb and the fuel pump and they both seem to be ok. The carb seems clean and the pump has no holes. The cart does run good but seems a little high on the rpms and to me seem to run a bit rough. My father in law says its just me. I checked the compression on the engine and it was 160 psi. I bought a cheap rpm guage that wraps around the sparkplug and it says I am running at around 3900rpms full throttle. Is there any other way that gasoline can be getting in the oil? thanks in advance. |

Re: gas in the oil
Thanks rib. I did a search but never found anything. I did take the carb apart and found notheing wrong with the float or anything. I also took apart the fuel pump and it was a little dirty but no holes. I cleaned it an put it back together. Any other ideas?

Re: gas in the oil
Well I replaced the carb with the new one and it didnt run any diferent. I did change the oil about 3 times in a row to get all the gas out and it runs much quieter now.
The next day I had an offer for the cart I could not refuse and I sold it. I went and bought my new yamaha gmax. Its the cart in my pic. Im going to put a 6 inch lift and big tires and a rear seat on as well. Thanks for all the help guys. See you in the yamaha section. thanks |

Re: gas in the oil
you know if you lifted the cart that it throws off the engine oil full mark on dipstick...........drain your oil and put in 40 ozs of fresh oil and make a new mark on dipstick...............see if that helps.......................................
