Default Workhorse - What do I have and why won't it start?

I have an EZ-Go Workhorse. According to the data plate, it has an 11HP twin cylinder 4 stroke gas motor. Serial number 1447814.

How do I figure out what model it is and what year it was made?

Why won't it start?

Cart was running as of 7/29/08.

Has been serviced by a local golf cart outfit 3 times since 11/07, and based on receipts, they look like a bunch of incompetent crooks.

11/07 - replaced fuel pump, cleaned carb, adjusted valves, changed oil.
6/08 - tune up - adjusted valves, cleaned carb, installed carb vent lines, new plugs
7/08 - replaced fuel filter, spark plugs, carb, fixed carb linkage & adjusted governor linkage

Plugs were checked & cleaned yesterday.

I drained the gas and put in new gas. Old gas was smelling bad. Still wouldn't fire.

Checked the fuel pump was pumping fuel. It was. Fuel line feeding carb not blocked.

Sprayed starting fluid in the carb. It started and then died. Smelled something. Plastic housing on the carb that the air intake hose attatches to had a puddle of burning starting fluid on it. Blew it out.

Tried again with starting fluid. It started, ran for a couple seconds, then died.

Tried again. More starting fluid than last time. Started, ran 10 seconds or so, then died. Had another burning puddle of starting fluid.

Thoughts (other than to use less starting fluid)?

Yes. My bad. Computer hung up and did not do anything. When I hit "submit" a second time, it posted quickly. What I did not know was that even though my computer had hung up, my original post did go thru. If I could delete this one, I would.

We could always hijack this one and just wait for Dirty to load it up with sensless posts?
