96 Club Car starts & dies til warmed up
Coming out of winter this year, my 1996 club car takes about 5 minutes to warm up before it runs for the day. It cranks a few seconds, starts for 2 seconds, then dies. As I keep doing this it runs a few more seconds each time until finally it runs about 10 seconds and dies, then it finally keeps running constantly. I should say that I lift the seat and turn "that knob" that "unhooks/turns off" the transmission before I do the warm-up procedure. After this initial warm up it's off and running the whole rest of the day. Any advice would be welcome.

You may have some crud in the carb after siting all winter and the idle, slow speed jets are clogged. |

Re: 96 Club Car starts & dies til warmed up
Thanks for your reply!! What would you suggest---I haven't looked at the Carb on it...---drain the bowl and maybe squirt some carb cleaner into it via the air filter , or something more involved like taking it off and cleaning the whole thing. I've never done that before and it may be out of my league. I've done simple lawn mower engine disassembly and reassembly before, but nothing on a cart like this. How "tough" would it be to pull the carb?

It sounds tougher than it really is but in reality it's pretty simple provided you take your time. When you are done and reassembled add some Seafoam to the tank to finish the job. You will pleased you did it yourself and you will have saved some serious coin from the dealer. FC |
