It’s almost as tight as a little cam sensor bolt on a 7.3 power stroke lol! I never knew who put those in originally but they must’ve really had some huge arms or some serious pneumatic power behind them.
Watching you work, figure out machines you haven't ever worked on before and execute a fix gives me hope. Maybe one day I'll figure out the ignition system on my cub cadet zero turn mower.
@@roberttrevorrow5968I feel your pain. Same issue, same brand, same type. Probably ignition module. Mine has an 18hp Kohler - good engine but needs the valves adjusted periodically or they'll stop firing / start misfiring.
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
You probably wondered if anyone would enjoy a vid of a golf cart repair. I enjoyed it immensely. You provided a wonderful opportunity for us to learn something. Don’t ever hesitate to post a project. There will always be many of us who appreciate the opportunity to learn something.
The over sized cup holder is for a bottle of sand to fill in your divots. But it can also hold a bottle of wine for Mom when the kids are driving her nuts!
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.
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.
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!
Great variety of jobs passing through, but all with the same humour. I loved the bendy as a clay tile epithet, clay tiles do bend, just with a louder noise and generally even more mess of sharp bits.
The rarest of the rare: A golf cart that is still used for golfing. And lawn mower tires? Not at MY country club! Homeboy had one of these with the twin-cylinder motor. It was smooth.
It's nice to see when repair parts are still available for old equipment. Plus it's nice to see when the OEM parts lasted so long!, They don't build them like they used to.
Not what I was expecting when I saw the video notification, but still entertaining to Watch Wes Work. Seems like someone is more than ready for the golf season to start, lol.
Great vid Wes. Love to see you work on one of the old gas powered Harley golf carts. A friend had one up in Michigan he had "hopped" up the engine. Ran like it was NASCAR ready. He even beefed up the roll cage and put in seat belts.
enjoyed the video...I didn't even think that braided vinyl hose was really made for fuel, but after I looked on line I learned it is...keep the videos coming.
That golf cart is sweeter than my car! 🚙 🚫 🛺👍 I wonder how it handles on the expressway? 🛣 It's got a nice big holder for my jumbo coffee, that's all that matters, really! ☕😉
Nice video, nice to see they kept them simple in construction. Course the first thoughts that came to my mind was "More Power!" and a 50cc to 100cc motor upgrade lol. Watched to much Home Improvement when I was a kid.
Glad you did this one Have two gas carts & always having to do a little work here and there on both. Recently replaced carb on EZGO . Need one for a 96 Cushman Sprinter. Great when they do run like they should.
Just FYI, Wes, the engine in that Club Car is a Kawasaki engine. Some newer golf carts have a 2 cylinder engine, almost doubling the hp to between 18-20 hp.
I’ve seen golf carts with the stock motor trashed, and replaced with a 550cc fan cooled snowmobile motor, which is about 65-70hp, they do nice burn outs and are nice for cruising the pits at a race track 😂
Found myself backing away from the monitor as you were applying heat. I thought for sure the pressure from the spring you said was not there was in fact going to take your hat right off.
Hey Wes, That was a nice teaser, now let's see you get to work on a real rust bucket! I'm from upstate N.Y., If you dont have anything all rotted out, right now, I can send you somthing! My favorite videos are when you end up with 25lbs of rusty chunks, on the shop floor! 🤣
Perfect lunch time vid! Just finished up an injector and HPFP on a 3.2 “powerstroke” and on to find two intake valve rocker arms had walked off on a 6.8 v10 gasser. You’d think I work at a Ford dealer...
I am amazed you didn't go to town on that cart, some nice scaled alloys, custom exhaust, multi disc CD changer, custom paint ( I kid of course ).. Pretty cool little job that doesn't involve ordering parts that come from off shore and a 6 week arrival time.. Thanks for the Share Wes, Stay Safe on the back nine..
Never owned a golf cart, never will own a golf cart, never had any interest in a gold cart, but yet I watched you from start to finish and enjoyed it. Go figure
Let's be honest Wes. For 99% of us, you could be replacing an "axle" on a Tonka truck and we'd tune in to watch it. You're an engaging entertaining person, the mechanical work is just a bonus.
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. :)
In the last 12 years I've painted a sh.t load of golf carts charging 300 bucks for a basic base coat clear coat paint job and up to 500 for multiple colors easy and quick using PPG products it takes me about 5 minutes to strip one down and 3 hours to prep and paint i dont get into the mechanics of them that goes to shops who specializes in that area awesome video
i really enjoy these type videos where its something new and different. i have a small shop in southeast alabama and work myself as well kinda work on what comes in. i have made a cuble videos and posted but seldom find the time needed to make them just do for fun. thanks for the content i learn a lot of different things on your channel keep up the good work thanks again
To help with those cold starts the choke is the black round circle behind left calf (push it in). Love the videos. Ohh. And the big bottle holder on back is for a container to pour out sand with grass seed. To fix your divots.
I have a 70's EZ Go that doesn't have the belt driven starter-generator. Evidently it is "built in" under the flywheel? It has a dead spot in it. If it stops in the same spot all the time, you have to turn the engine a bit to get it to turn over. I wonder if it's fixable?
I admire your skills and work ethic. Gasoline carts are such a huge PITA. Way too much to go wrong and maintain, plus parts are expensive. That's why I opted for a 2007 junker EZGO electric that needed fully refurbished.

Torque spec on drain plug - 3.2 hernias.
😂
😆
Likeplll
That oil plug was pretty tight. I had no idea Jiffy Lube serviced golf carts.
It’s almost as tight as a little cam sensor bolt on a 7.3 power stroke lol! I never knew who put those in originally but they must’ve really had some huge arms or some serious pneumatic power behind them.
If it's not cross-threaded, it's not tight.
Nah, jiffy would've crossthreaded in the drain plug with impact gun. Pepboys now they go Hulk on drain plugs with breaker bar
Probably never changed the oil
@@hondaveetc82 pathetic 😂
Nice job. Love the "flexible as a clay tile" comment.
My golf cart has those too, but they don't bend, just break. Maybe I should take it to Wes 😁
@@bluegrallis i think those "fuel lines" Wes took off and replaced look like theyre used for beverage dispensers not designed for fuel
What Wes really wanted to say was they're harder than a preacher's #%$&
Would have made a good wife joke too.
Watch wes work while I'm at work. Sounds like a good day to me.
Yeah... watching Wes and looking for 5:00
Watching you work, figure out machines you haven't ever worked on before and execute a fix gives me hope. Maybe one day I'll figure out the ignition system on my cub cadet zero turn mower.

I have never in my life had a pulley come off a shaft that easy! Lol
No one has!
Usually when they do, something horribly has gone wrong and broken

@@WatchWesWork Mine fall off harder than that.
Bloopers take🤣
I can't be the only one that thought Wes was going to drive the golf cart backwards right through his wall🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm not saying I'm bad at golf, but a bottle of sand would not fill my divots. I'm thinking more along the lines of a wheelbarrow.
Was hoping to see the pup going for a ride on the cart..
I wanted to see both of them driving it in the snow!
👍👌👏 Me too, definitely! I bet that sadness in the pups eyes would have been blown away instantly.
Best regards, luck and health.
i have driven golf carts, but never while golfing,you flip the switch, touch the pedal & cruise the farm where the party is taking you from city life

Not going to lie, thought that spring would explode as he said "I guess there's not that much pressure on that"
I was waiting for that myself 😬
Kind of expected the next scene to be Wes digging his puller out of the ceiling
A Tuesday morning surprise! Thanks for the videos, it doesn't matter the subject.
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.
Can you tell me how to fix my golf cart
I love seeing you tear into something you’ve never worked on before! I’ve worked on several golf carts over the years. You did great!!
Happy to see a video on something less challenging than a road grader, c'mon springtime.

Interesting.
Never thought I'd see a golf cart on your channel. This reaffirmed why I watch you, diverse and highly entertaining content. Please keep them coming.
Your one-liners kill me! "As flexible as a clay tile" I love it! :)
That was something completely different Wes, nice little video keep em coming.
Great variety of jobs passing through, but all with the same humour. I loved the bendy as a clay tile epithet, clay tiles do bend, just with a louder noise and generally even more mess of sharp bits.
Really rough day at work and life....
This just gave me a bit of a boost!!
Thanks Wes!
Happy to help!
Wes has enters the golf course...
Everybody present goes: "Fore !!!"
The oversized cupholder is for a container of sand/grass seed to fill divots.
Wes a man of my own heart. Guy who will fix anything and everything.
The rarest of the rare: A golf cart that is still used for golfing. And lawn mower tires? Not at MY country club!
Homeboy had one of these with the twin-cylinder motor. It was smooth.
"The rarest of the rare: A golf cart that is still used for golfing." - yes, I was equally puzzled!
watching Wes work is so relaxing (because I dont have to do it). Nice job, please keep it up
It's nice to see when repair parts are still available for old equipment. Plus it's nice to see when the OEM parts lasted so long!, They don't build them like they used to.
I enjoy watching you work on all different types of machines, keeps it interesting. :)
Never thought I’d enjoy watching a grown man work on a golf cart, but here I am. Love the channel, Wes! It’s a truly a source of enjoyment for me.
It’s always a good day in the shop when you don’t need the scan tool to figure out what is wrong. I think we know why you like old machinery so much.
Not what I was expecting when I saw the video notification, but still entertaining to Watch Wes Work. Seems like someone is more than ready for the golf season to start, lol.
Well Tuesday morning just got a tune up. Thanks for another great video Wes!
A very satisfying video. I love simple! Thanks for sharing!!!!
On the plus side at least it's not a rust bucket. Lol God bless
I love the variety of repairs. One of the best channels on youtube. Thank you.
Thanks 👍
Glad you changed those old gas lines.
Great job with this golf cart. Thanks for the video.
Great vid Wes.
Love to see you work on one of the old gas powered Harley golf carts.
A friend had one up in Michigan he had "hopped" up the engine.
Ran like it was NASCAR ready.
He even beefed up the roll cage and put in seat belts.

Great video of just doing different things to keep things going in the shop. Have a great week Wes. Hope all is well with your family too!
Lol ... that cup holder is for a duck, a piss bucket. Every golf cart in Southwest comes with a 'cup holder.' Keep 'em coming, great job.
That golf cart is sweeter than my car! 🚙 🚫 🛺👍
I wonder how it handles on the expressway? 🛣
It's got a nice big holder for my jumbo coffee, that's all that matters, really! ☕😉
Something different and easy. 1st video without any electronic issues! Sweet!👍
Nice video, nice to see they kept them simple in construction. Course the first thoughts that came to my mind was "More Power!" and a 50cc to 100cc motor upgrade lol. Watched to much Home Improvement when I was a kid.
Good detail on what you are working on...Thanks
When is a clutch not a clutch? Wes: “when it’s a clock!”
Great video, Thank you very much Wes, I’m not even a golfer but I love golf carts
Nice, a surprise video during the week! Great job as usual.
Brilliant great to see you got it running well enjoyed the video great
Glad you did this one Have two gas carts & always having to
do a little work here and there on both. Recently replaced carb on EZGO . Need one for a 96 Cushman Sprinter. Great when they do run like they should.
Nice picture quality in this one, been watching very old episodes and now this one, nice improvement

Just FYI, Wes, the engine in that Club Car is a Kawasaki engine. Some newer golf carts have a 2 cylinder engine, almost doubling the hp to between 18-20 hp.
Yes we want to see that upgrade 👍🏻
what does that older one make for HP? Just curious

Excellent video Wes :) and interesting golf cart how they work too and fix it too! I never work on ever and now know to look for!
Thanks 👍
Those things never seem to die, we had one at my city parks and rec job and put it through immortal hell and it always kept going.

At work I learned repairs on an 80s EZ-GO with a Robin 2 stroke engine, it was decent but we upgraded to a JD Gator a few years ago! Nice vid!
I have a 70's EZ Go that doesn't have the belt driven starter-generator. Evidently it is "built in" under the flywheel? It has a dead spot in it. If it stops in the same spot all the time, you have to turn the engine a bit to get it to turn over.

Fun episode, glad you got an easier one for once. Perfect amount of dog too! Thanks.
The Florida pool pump motor repair guy approved ! that was good info
Fun. You should leave your business cards around golf clubs. It seemed like a stress vacation. We all need those.
I didn't realise how unfamiliar I was with petrol golf carts. The combined accelerator/starter pedal arrangement was interesting.
Expecting any day to hear you say, "This M-1 Abrams tank in the shop needs a tuneup".
Very Informative, Another Great Video.
