This 1990 Club Car golf cart needs a service. It also has an issue with the starter and a noise in the clutch. Lets fix it!

Luckily my snowmobiles have a similar setup driven/secondary clutch, and they slide on and off with ease (well for the ones designed to be removed easily. Newer sleds are a one piece clutch and jackshaft design). Which it coming off with ease is a good thing as you need to remove it to get to anything to do with the carburetors or intake boots and other general maintenance

Just a tip, on the back of the shifter lever there is a spring loaded plastics triangle shaped cam. If you pull it towards the engine and rotate it 180 degrees it allows the motor to run in neutral. This is very helpful when diagnosing things so that way the cart isn’t always trying to move when starting the motor.

Mrs. Wes should have test drove it. We had a old 3 wheel golf cart. One wheel in front ant two in the back. Nice 2 cycle Harley engine. The body lifted up to work on it. Loved it and fun to drive. Our mail box was about 1/2 mile down the dirt road. My dog would jump and sit in the passenger seat. We put a seat in the back. As my dog and I went to get the mail. Soon neighbors dogs would be by the drive to go for a ride to get mail. So you would see a 14 year old with 5 dogs getting mail. Then delivering their dog and mail to each house. Mail was delivered by 4 pm each day and I would drive down and pickup dogs for their ride. Living in the country is different and more friendly. Wes thank you for reminding me of my youth.

We use two of these on the farm and they are tough as nails. Nothing to rust out either as the frame is aluminum and the body is fiberglass. The engines are Kawasaki and seem bullet proof except for one flaw that we have seen. The Club Car has a speed governor built in the transmission so the Kawasaki engine governor is not used. There is a sheet metal bracket that is riveted to the end of a plastic cam gear in the engine which I think is part of the unused Kawasaki governor system. It serves no purpose on the Club Car. We have seen the rivets fail on two engines and when that sheet metal comes loose it falls down in the crankcase and all hell breaks loose. In one case it broke the skirts off the piston. Just drill out the rivets remove the bracket and replace the rivets with pan head bolts and locking nuts. I hope this helps somebody out there to save their old Club Car from disaster. Oh, and if your are wondering, the Club Car with the broken piston skirts is still running after the carnage was cleaned out of the crankcase!

Wes, just a tip for future reference. I believe there is a service switch just behind the shifter underneath the seat in club car / carryall utility vehicles. When turned to the left (If I remember correctly), this allows the cart to start and run in Neutral. You can turn it back to the right to resume normal operation after repairs are completed. :)
