99 EZGO has to rev before clutch engages
I have a 99 EZGO with the 295 engine. New cart to me. The engagement of the clutch isn't smooth. It revs then takes off with a jolt. The belt is good and I even tried the extra belt from my 2PG cart. It might be modified, it has a nice exhaust header and muffler.
Any thoughts as to what to look at? This would be in the drive clutch, correct? |

Yes....Rebuild or replace the drive clutch.

Re: 99 EZGO has to rev before clutch engages
I'm having this issue with the cart I just picked up. Mine has a comet clutch which I disassembled and cleaned with no better results. I'm just going to feather the throttle for now to avoid the jolt but it's looking to me (since mine is simply a spring, 2 plates and the centrifugal weights) like clutch replacement may be the only answer.

Re: 99 EZGO has to rev before clutch engages
My ST 4x4 has same issue - mostly when cold.
If you rev cold in neutral and then allow to drop to idle you will hear the clutch drop out (with a clunk). If you allow engine and tranny to warm up (patiently) and then very gently engage clutch (start at idle and creep up slowly) - you will likely notice the "clunk" at engagement is minimized - goofy but workable. |
