Re: 1997 Club Car limo DS 11hp sputters on acceleration
actually i remember back awhilei was working on an older cart like this, it was having the same symptoms. i ended up finding that the valves were not making good contact around the seat. pulled the head, and lapped the valves. ran like new. just a shot in the dark, but could possibly. most likely a plugged muffler though. its always hard for me to diagnose over a computer lol. and yes gauto, our club car dealership is here in valpo.

As far as diagnosing over a computer, I have friends that want me to diagnose noises in their car via text. Try that one!!! So far I'm at a 86% success rate, I'm good.... Thanks Phil, Gary |

Re: 1997 Club Car limo DS 11hp sputters on acceleration
the jist of this is that it only acts up some of the time......have you taken a peek in the gas tank to see if theres any crap or water in the gas that it might be picking up sometimes?? i remember a cart that drove me crazy for a week before i found a small puddle of water in the gas tank and every once in awhile it layed in just the right spot that the pick up tube in tank sucked some up...........since then i don,t hesitate to look for water or garbage in the tank and its amazing how much i find..............might be worth a look see.................................

Re: 1997 Club Car limo DS 11hp sputters on acceleration
I'll take a look at that. The jerkbaglyingpos that sold it mentioned that it had been sitting for 6 months. Which translates into over a year I'd guess. I did look in the tank and saw some debris in the bottom so I know it needs to be cleaned out. Thanks for the tip!

Re: 1997 Club Car limo DS 11hp sputters on acceleration
It's been many months since I started this discussion and I found the problem so I thought I'd share.
Apparently the limiter was bad and the clutch was whacked as well. The engine would hit the limiter because the clutch was worn and wouldn't engage fast enough. I replaced the clutch and disabled the limiter and the problems have gone away. Previously I thought the limiter was disabled but I was mistaken. Hopefully this may help someone else as well. |
