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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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 😂
Probably 95% of my business now is repairing Harley Davidsons, but when I started, and needed to make as much money as possible as fast as possible, I'd look at anything from a chainsaw to a railway locomotive, as long as it'd fit in the building. Certainly kept life interesting and expanded my skills quite a bit. Nice to see someone else willing to take on just about anything. Keeps the channel interesting when you never know what'll be up next
I've had good customers throw me a curveball a time or two, and didn't really feel I could say no. As a matter of fact, I have 2 dead snowmobiles in the shop as I type this.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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! ☕😉
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...
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.
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..
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. :)
Were you trying to duplicate a few seconds delay between the time you push on the pedal and the engine starts? My golfing buddy has a Club Car from that era. Push on the accelerator and there's about 3-5 seconds before the starter kicks in. Can't find any reason like a delay circuit in the wiring that stands out. I'm afraid we'll have to push it back to the clubhouse one day.
That is the old K82 Kawasaki engine. Club Car stopped using them in 92 and went to the FE290. Both of them are now obsolete and difficult to get some pieces for. BTW you will have to tighten that starter/gen belt in a few days. They stretch bad when they are new. Been a CC mechanic for 20+ years.
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?
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.
The noise he tried to reproduce is like a high pitched whine mixed in with Wes' kid trying to make like scifi pew pew pew noises. The cart I have at work does this and it's my anti-theft device. I can tap it just right after like the third try if not the first try but the general amount of people that just hop on it and think its a go kart won't ever get the thing to move. You've got to lightly tap it to get the starter going. That knowledge comes from daily use of your machine. It's a Toro Workman with a B&S 16 HP gas engine on it. If anybody has the chance to get one on Marketplace, they're fine except cosmetic stuff like the bottom thin sheet floor is falling apart.
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 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.
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
I used to fix these for our local golf club, pretty simple bits of kit to repair, the worse one's are the auto start one's that have the forward and reverse on pedals ! So you have an accelerator pedal with a big F on and one right next to it with an R on, they are a right bugger to set up ! !
You crack me up! Never get a job where the customer diagnosed the problem correctly. Loved the test drive. And the oversized cup holder is supposed to hold a mix of soil and grass seed to fix your divots. Edit: I was waiting for the spring to launch that clutch into one of your new lights.
@@WatchWesWork You give people far too much credit. I would guess 65% of the population couldn't recognize, diagnose or fix some of the simplest problems on their daily driver. Get past a flat tire and they are dumbfounded. I don't know how many people I have helped who tell me "won't start" when it is a easy as a loose battery cable. I noticed people you are helping are keeping their cars and trucks as daily drivers for many years. Do you see that as a pattern, or is that just for YT purposes?
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.
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! 🤣
loved the golf cart thing I agree with all the comments . I don't know but I think that engine could use some new mounts they seem to be pretty soft to me
The Club Car caught my eye , i have one about the same year minus the top and windshield it's for working around our property & garden i bought it for a Golf Course off craigslist - it's Yamaha engine work fine, the starter generator needed a new belt & a battery was a great help i got sick of charging electric golf cart batteries this was the reason for the gas unit
We have a goffer course right beside us but we are in the land of goffer courses and multi-million dollar 'cabins'. I followed a goffer cart down the road and it was running either 30 or 35 and I want to say 35. It was electric and the goffer/driver said he got it with the high speed package. I believe it. Good fix. GBWYall
I thought golfers only blamed their clubs after a poor game!. I remember reading in the paper, that a golfer in Scotland passed away, and when his estate was being cleared, they found nearly 70 sets of clubs and bags. Very interesting engineering on a light weight vehicle. Thanks for sharing and best regards from the UK. John.
@11:08 I had the same problem last Thursday morning. A fellow pulled into my drive with a flat tire and didn't have a lug wrench. I figured out it was metric, but I didn't have a 21mm socket here. I had to run to the neighbors for a bit of help and the guy was back on the road, with a bald mini spare in no time. It's a good thing he was only 75 miles from home. I doubt that spare would hold up to 80 miles 😆
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
Hey Wes, the golf carts that I have seen put a container of grass seed, and sand in the oversized cup holder. You can then fill any divot that you make.
Nice little project. BTW…..the oversized cup holder is for a plastic jar of sand to fill the divot made when you hit the ball. Only certain courses do thus practice depending upon the type of grass. Other courses it is best to replace the original divot back do it Dan grow.
the spring tab position in outer cam is a big deal. It's tunes the opening torque for the driven pulley to the torque of the engine and desired acceleration. The tighter it is the higher rpm and torque it will require to open.
i bought a kawasaki engined club car kart like this... valves were so loose... (never tuned) it was geared for a hilly golf course... walking speed was top speed... fun for sunset drives along rockport waterfront...
I visited the Mexican Island “Las Islas” ,this type of cart was the only transport, great fun to use. That video was different and interesting.,I hope you manage the snow OK, greetings from a decent day in Altrincham Cheshire.UK
There is a plastic sleeve on the inside of the gear selector that you can turn to put it in service mode. You will be able to start and run the motor with out it up on jacks or running off. Tip for next time. Thank you for all of your tips and tricks.
good ol kawi flathead, by the time i see those they are done like dinner. i have seen those style clutches throw a ramp before, its usually overspeeding from someone messing with the governor or worn parts
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

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
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.

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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
A Tuesday morning surprise! Thanks for the videos, it doesn't matter the subject.
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
That was something completely different Wes, nice little video keep em coming.
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.
Really rough day at work and life....
This just gave me a bit of a boost!!
Thanks Wes!
Happy to help!
Wes a man of my own heart. Guy who will fix anything and everything.
Bloopers take🤣
I can't be the only one that thought Wes was going to drive the golf cart backwards right through his wall🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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.
watching Wes work is so relaxing (because I dont have to do it). Nice job, please keep it up
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.

I thought golfers only blamed their clubs after a poor game!. I remember reading in the paper, that a golfer in Scotland passed away, and when his estate was being cleared, they found nearly 70 sets of clubs and bags.
Very interesting engineering on a light weight vehicle.
Thanks for sharing and best regards from the UK.
John.
Thank you Wess. I've had no experience with golf or golf carts. But now I know a little.
@11:08 I had the same problem last Thursday morning. A fellow pulled into my drive with a flat tire and didn't have a lug wrench. I figured out it was metric, but I didn't have a 21mm socket here. I had to run to the neighbors for a bit of help and the guy was back on the road, with a bald mini spare in no time. It's a good thing he was only 75 miles from home. I doubt that spare would hold up to 80 miles 😆
Cool little job Wes. That air cleaner looks like a shop vac filter.
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
Hey Wes, the golf carts that I have seen put a container of grass seed, and sand in the oversized cup holder. You can then fill any divot that you make.
Ya just never know what you're gonna Watch Wes Work on. Didn't expect to see a golf cart! Pretty interesting. Great video.
That's what I enjoy about this channel...never know what Wes will be working on next.
Nice little project. BTW…..the oversized cup holder is for a plastic jar of sand to fill the divot made when you hit the ball. Only certain courses do thus practice depending upon the type of grass. Other courses it is best to replace the original divot back do it Dan grow.
the spring tab position in outer cam is a big deal. It's tunes the opening torque for the driven pulley to the torque of the engine and desired acceleration. The tighter it is the higher rpm and torque it will require to open.
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.
1:14 The oversize cup-holder is for divot-repair mix.
Good detail on what you are working on...Thanks
Cool stuff. I know a bunch of ranchers with Club Car carts modified for off-road use.
Expecting any day to hear you say, "This M-1 Abrams tank in the shop needs a tuneup".
i bought a kawasaki engined club car kart like this... valves were so loose... (never tuned) it was geared for a hilly golf course... walking speed was top speed... fun for sunset drives along rockport waterfront...
Fun. You should leave your business cards around golf clubs. It seemed like a stress vacation. We all need those.
Work on my grandmas club car alot. Nothing worse than rebuild the motors in them things
I visited the Mexican Island “Las Islas” ,this type of cart was the only transport, great fun to use. That video was different and interesting.,I hope you manage the snow OK, greetings from a decent day in Altrincham Cheshire.UK
Alternative jobs are what keep it interesting, nice and easy too.
There is a plastic sleeve on the inside of the gear selector that you can turn to put it in service mode. You will be able to start and run the motor with out it up on jacks or running off. Tip for next time. Thank you for all of your tips and tricks.
"Flexible as a clay tile." Very good! I like that!
good ol kawi flathead, by the time i see those they are done like dinner. i have seen those style clutches throw a ramp before, its usually overspeeding from someone messing with the governor or worn parts
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 👍
Come to Florida we even have lifted four wheel drive carts with transfer cases.
I got old Harley. Love it very handy around the house.on board ball washer for a shorter guy than you apparently.
Great video. I think the premium model comes with 2 cup holders!
PEACE SIGN, MAG. WHEEL'S & 4 ON THE FLOOR.
