Re: Gas Club Car Fuel Issue
Sounds like you are having same problem as I am. Mines a 1989 kf82 just rebuilt engine, had fuel filter run dry gravety seems to suck the filter dry if its before fuel pump after fuel pump filter should stay full. I tried cleaning carb didnot help I was going to get rebuild kit, but found Tom at carts parts plus has OEM carb for 99.95 free shipping. I had simaliar problem once with a generator would run just fine until you loaded it then just bogout tried rebuilting that carb couldnt get it right talked to a onan tech he gave me 3 old carbs said they are having same problems with bad fuel ethenol.Put a new carb on thats been running good for years now. And I did solve my dry filter problem the valve cover vent must be plumbed to the air cleaner. I had it vented with its own mini air cleaner didnt work to good.I havent tried starting it since putting on new carb.

Re: Gas Club Car Fuel Issue
I have a 1990 DS, am having problems starting and running rough or dying when it engine warms up.
What is the tube that dangles from the carb off the passenger side of the carb? Is it the vent tube you refer to?? It didn't have a gas cap, cleaned tank , put new hoses , fuel and air filter on. Should the cap be a vented one?? I've never seen carbs with that hose dangling , what does it do? Many thanks, TY |

Re: Gas Club Car Fuel Issue
Thanks you for your replay Shadowman
"Just a vent hose"// then what is it's function?? When I have trouble starting it, I plig the hose with a nail and it fires right up. And I can drive it, but after 10-15 minutes or so it will, die, ad then run rough, slowww to get going,, sputters then catches and will go for a little bit. Then after a while it will just quit. If the fuel line filter supposed to always show fuel in it? I don't see fuel in the filter. I have plenty of spark, not a spark problem at all,new plug etc, and it sparks fine. It's a fuel problem or air problem. Changed all the hoses, tightly too, and the fuel and air lines as well as air filter. Why is there a vent hose hanging off the carb, does it take in air?? Like I said it didn't have a fuel tank cap so I found one that is not vented and put it on, do you think it's causing a problem? I'm also at 6,500 ft, air is a tad thin at times. yawnnn...rise and shine thanks for your reply. :) |

Does anyone know where the hose goes that comes out of the carb and into the frame below the tank? Old 01-10-2012, 09:06 PM #5 shadowman Gone Wild Default Re: 1999 starting problem that should just hang there somewhere............................ That hose is for the bowl overflow, it goes down through the frame and gets clamped there, It's used to prevent fuel from spraying all over the engine compartment while the engine is running (in the event of a carb malfunction) and starting a fire! |

Re: Gas Club Car Fuel Issue
Thanks, we use it in our HOA patio home community, 16 square blocks, to clean up litter, and minor repairs and perimeter patrol sprinkler maintenance etc.
We have an all volunteer staff, and have just acquired this to help us old guys move around more expeditiously. As with all HOAs... $$$ is tight. The Fuel filter doesn't have ANY fuel visible in it (clear housing) whenever I lift the seat and look. Today I need to put t in Neutral lock service to charge the battery, and will see how it fills and discharges. The vent hose is an item of curiosity tho. Winter time in the Rockies has very thin air, and below 10% humidity. Much appreciate your time and help. Sunny days TY |

Re: Gas Club Car Fuel Issue
you know they sell a tune up kit for that part of the country because of the thin air there.....i know its a different spark plug it runs colder or hotter?? you might want to look into it because if cart wasn,t set up for that area you can have issues that will make you want to pull your hair out if you have any...........................
