#14 Club Car DS Golf Cart Service Maintenance - Oil Change, Air Filter, Fuel Filters, Spark Plug.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 тра 2020
- Join me as I perform Spring tune-up maintenance on my Club Car Model DS golf cart. This includes changing the oil and filter, replacing the air filter, replacing both fuel filters, and replacing the spark plug. This is a 2005 model DS with the Kawasaki FE290 gas engine. This may also apply to the club car carryall. Also, I'll answer the question, where did the DS get its name and what does DS stand for? #MCGtv #clubcar #ClubCarDS #golfcarts

I enjoyed the video especially the way he keeps instruction in simple terms.
I have a 2003 club car ds and totally rehab. it and runs great
Thanks! I have no idea how to maintain my cart but I’m going to try because of you.
You can do it!
I have a 1997 DS gas cart. I love it. I purchased it several years ago, before used golf cart prices soared. I need to put new brake shoes on mine, so found your video in process of searching the Facebook DS group.
I just bought a 1988 DS Model gas. This video was immensely helpfull. Great Job!!!!
I have a 97. Great video.
Thank you.
My club car is a 1989 DS. Still running strong with regular maintenance
I have a 2006 xrt810 gas. It’s powerful, gets through mud easily, and goes 25mph! I absolutely love it
Awesome video now I know how to service mine you taught me alot
Thanks
Excellent job and info
Terrific video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching! -Ed
Great demonstration 👍
Thank you, Thomas!
Great video
I just picked up an 03 in perfect running order for $800. My wife loves it! I can see myself using it a lot for all my odd jobs on my land. I'm so glad I watched your video before doing any wrenching on it. I was dead set on it not being as fast as it should be but apparently 14mph is normal. I would have surely ruined something. Great video, thanks for the info.
Wow you got a great deal! Congrats!
Great presentation....
Thank you GW!
i just aquired a club cart lots of good info
Thanks very much!
I agree greatest body style ever
Appreciate the video, was gifted a 98 DS and looking to tune it up when spring hits. Scanned the comments for other info that just slipped thru the cracks in video like type of oil and where fuel cut out was and seemed like every question you answered there so no gripes. Thanks again and count me as a new subscriber.
Thanks for your comments and for subscribing. Good luck with the DS. Welcome!
Thanks for this. Lots of good tips, well filmed, well explained and entertaining! I think my Club Car is a 93. Now that I know how to check, I'll look for the Serial Number. Mine has a primer pump that comes off the front of the air filter cover and is located in the fiberglass seat riser right behind the drivers left leg. Mine often requires a few pumps to start after sitting for awhile.
Thank you!
I wanted to thank you for this helpful video! Helped my dad and I learn how to maintenance our 98 DS Club Car Villager. Appreciated how descriptive you were for us first timers! 👍🏼
Thanks so much for watching and for your kind comments. So glad you found it helpful. 👍
Awesome educational and entertaining video. Anyone else ever tell you you look and sound a lot like the TV comedy legend Tim Conway? That's a compliment by the way!
Thanks Larry. I’ve never seen it in myself, but yes several people have made that comparison. And I do take it as a high compliment! 😄
Good evening ED 😉 Nice history learning and very nice well built !!! Did not that at all even if I'm in the Air Force 😂🤣😉👍Great idea about starter/Generator (some aircraft are like that too ! )Great puppy !!!😉That clutch systems are the same on snowmobiles (Skidoo ),,, Well one of these days, I would change my cell phone as a camera on my video LOL 🤣😉👍Always a great sence of humor Ed 😉Great strap wrench 👍Great maintenance video 🧐👍Great drone views and have a great week Cheers 😉👍🌞
RCAFpolarexpress good evening Dave. Always appreciate your thoughtful reviews! Thanks for watching. Can’t wait to see the green in your new garden!
@@MyClutteredGarage 🙏😉🌞👍 Me too 🤣😉👍
I was just curious about what the process was to change the oil on one of these. Dont have one, but I had to comment to compliment you on the very thorough, well spoken, calm and informative video that was well edited. You do not see this quality in many videos. I'm sure this will help many people.
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching!
I have a 2017 presidential! Everything looks pretty much the same! Great video. Much appreciate it.
I had a 2004 DS a few years ago that I loved, but the previous owner had put a lift with a VERY rigid suspension that was terrible for my surgically repaired lower back. Hated to get rid of it, but the $ went toward my Kioti 2610, so can’t complain to much!
Sgt. Giggs - the Kioti is surely more fun! Thanks for watching!
2012 and great video btw
Thanks!
I've got a 1999 Club Car. Runs like a champ
On my 99 I cannot break loose the bolt to drain the oil. Any suggestions? Should I try to use heat with a small torch? Great video. Thank you for sharing.
That seems odd. Not sure I’d apply heat there. Maybe just a socket and breaker bar. Or a small impact driver with a socket?
Thank you! Extremely helpful! What size is the nylon oil filter wrench?
Thank you. They are adjustable. Here’s a link that should work for you. amzn.to/3r3AzQs
I use an aluminum pie pan under the oil filter to catch the drips
As we talked about before, we have an EZ- GO golf cart. I really like it too. We use it all the time for hauling stuff around the property. Ours is electric which I really like! Did you install that lift kit yourself? How hard was it? Our dog loves cart rides too. A little too much! Great video! Cheers!
Peacefield Farm_MN thanks so much. Yes I did install the lift kit. I did it after work one day so it really only too 3-4 hours. I hear the electric carts actually have more power and can be tuned to go faster. I just wouldn’t like the cost of replacing batteries, but there are a lot of electric ones out there! Maybe even more than gas jobs. Thanks for watching!
First time to see your videos where did you get the lift kit I have a club car older model battery with lots of miles on it we use it on the farm.
Thanks Danny. I bought the Jake’s 6” spindle lift and wheel kit from diygolfcarts.com. It was probably 5 years ago and works well.
paid 1,600 for my Club Car Ds Gas ...1998 just got it two days ago.
Excellent deal!
@@MyClutteredGarage thanks that's great to hear
Can't believe I missed this video. I thought I watched all of them. I was wondering does the golf cart stay running or does it only run when you step on the go pedal? If so it was way before its time. I think cars just started doing that in the last 5 years.
Haha that’s true. Yes it works like modern cars and turn off when you stop. Thanks for watching!
just bought a 93 ds, wondering how i could find my oil filter model, first time owner, very helpful video, its not often i can watch a whole video, yours no problem,,,
Thank you. I appreciate your kind comments. Enjoy the DS. Still have and love mine! -Ed
What would AD05 mean?
Thanks for the video. Question: Is there any maintenance on the ignition system..? Such as replacement of spark plug wire..? Is this a some kind of solid state system or is there a distributor with a cap and points..? What about the carburetor..? Any cleaning necessary...? It looks like there is a bleeder valve on the bottom...? Maybe the cover can be removed, carb cleaned and then a new gasket...?? Also, have you even changed the larger clutch drive belt..? It seems it may not be that easy...
Hi m m. There is no distributor or points that I'm aware of. And I don't think any carb maintenance is needed unless it starts running poorly. I haven't really had to do any other maintenance or repairs on this cart. They are solid! I run a Club Car DS Facebook group that is very helpful. If you're interested just search for it. Thanks. -Ed
@@MyClutteredGarage Thank you for your reply. My buddy has an old Club Car work cart but it has the exact same engine. It is very old and kind of crappy, but it gets him around his property. It is backfiring sometimes on a deceleration. I agree there is no distributor on these carts and probably use an electronic / magneto ignition which does not require any service. I will perform the service you did here but i have a feeling that it may be a dirty carb.... probably a lot of carbon build-up.... I will look into removing it and do a good cleaning... These things are like tanks..... they can take so much abuse and keep running and if they are maintained they can probably last a lifetime.....haha..... I will also look into changing the transaxle fluid... and probably change the belts while i am at it.....take care..
We have a 2004 DS club car it started not wanting to start/ move this changed fast then it didn't want to move at all you could hear movement but not the starter motor, I changed the 4 mini switches and the 12 volt solenoid and it runs but if you let it sit say for an hour you turn the key and wait for about 30 seconds and then you hear the starter engages what is the problem starter motor weak battery??
There’s a great club car DS group on Facebook that I created. Worth joining if you can. Thanks.
My is an 06 gas model
I have a 2012 DS gas model ("AG12xxx...").
Question: I changed my fuel filters and they don’t fill up all the way with fuel. Top filter has little and the one closest to the motor has a bit more. Cart still runs but I’m curious if they should be full? Maybe my fuel pump is weak? Let me know please and thank you
ATV Guy great question. My fuel filters are the same as yours. The old ones and the new ones don’t fill up either. No worries, it’s not sucking air and works just fine. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
I have a 1989 gas cart
Great video. We just bought a 2003 DS. I noticed on mine that it's missing the engine snubber. I was trying to see how yours looked. Also, do you clean the engine area? Decreaser and hose it down? mine is pretty dirty.
Thanks very much, Jim. I’ve power washed the engine area with just water. And not too close with the power washer. Mine was always pretty clean though. Bought from a golf course that took good care of them.
Great video I have and 86 Club Car. My air box is different. But what kind of engine oil did you use?
@@augoharris3437 thank you. Just standard 4 stroke rated oil. I think 10w 30.
i am pretty sure you can power wash these engines completely... then use a leaf blower to dry it and start it up immediately... let it run for a bit....
How many quarts of oil was that in English terms for the USA
Great video?you didn't grease front end😀 Mines 2004 ds. It replaced a yamaha oh what a difference. CUT beat the ds knobs tires with small lift great for across feilds and through woods.
Hi Dan. I love the DS. Such a reliable and quiet machine! Not a powerhouse by any means, but durable and dependable! Thanks for watching. -Ed
I have just bought a club cart ds and it did not have a owners manual. what weight was weight was the oil and what is the filter number for it?? Thanks in advance!
I used 4 stroke full synthetic. I think it was 40 weight. There's a link in the description for the full tune-up kit with the filter. Thanks for watching!
Hey..I have a ds club cart and oil light comes on when I'm half throttle... Do you have any idea why... thanks
If your oil level is full, it could be the sensor. It’s not a pressure activated switch, it’s just a oil level indicator. If you can, join the club car, DS owners Facebook group. Lots of good advice there.
I have a 98 club, I just inherited it, I made sure the oil was full, Put a 6" lift on it, And now the oil is reading ad, Does a 6" lift change the Is angle of the motor, And make the dipstick read incorrectly? Thank you Bob Miller Detroit Michigan
Hi Bobby. I can’t see why that would change the level. Is it a suspension lift front and back?
I think I figured it out just watch your video again, Looks like you have a drop spendel lyft, I use speak and text, :), I put a mad Jack's lift on mine, Which replaces the whole front end assembly, So it lifts the body 6", Now the engine is on a different angle, I assumed that's what you had on yours, Then I looked at the video again, And yours like I said is the spindle lift, Which probably keeps the engine on the same angle, Mine reads low now, Because of the angle, I was trying to send a picture, Either I can't figure it out or they won't let me, Anyways thank you for your response, Bobby Miller Detroit Michigan
@@MyClutteredGarage Where the snobber is, When you lift the body, It LI FTS., The frame., And you can see how it changes the angle of the motor., I put 38 Ounces., Of oil in my 98 Ds And the dipstick reads less than half, I have a hard time believing with your lift., And 38 oz of oil., It reads full on the dip Stick.
What type of engine oil do you use ? What about synthetic oil do they make any for golf carts ?
What type of oil filters ? You didn’t mention anything in regards to that
Hi. I used 10w-30 4cycle oil. Synthetic should be fine. Thanks for watching!
Will the parts you list work with a 2019 club car ?
I don't think so because the DS was discontinued before that. Definitely search your model. Thanks for watching.
Curious, was it cheaper to buy this cart than to get an atv? Atv's have more power, 4wd and way more maneuverable.
John Ambro - I actually sold my old ATV to but this cart, which cost about $1500 before mods. The cart is much handier for me around the property. Ultimately, I hope to replace it with a side by side. Thanks much!
Also.... I would probably replace that oil drain plug washer... it looks like a crush washer...
What viscosity oil do you use? Do you use synthetic? Or Dino?
Hi Gary. Either or. I forget but I think used standard 4 cycle oil. Synthetic would make sense to extend the oil change intervals. Thanks for watching! -Ed
did u get info on 3 point hitch top hook
Thank you. I've seen the links for replacement top hooks, but have not purchased anything yet.
My cart is a 1989 DS and the motor is different. Can you suggest what motor I might have.
I'm not sure, but if you search for "Club Car DS Golf Cart and Carryall Owners" on Facebook, we have a nice group there that can help you. Thanks for watching.
How do you change your battery or take it out you don’t take it out of that club cart
The battery just lifts out after you disconnect the terminals.
Shoot hoopes often? Another good video.
Nicholas Lacovara haha. I was thinking it’s time to remove that old basketball hoop. Thanks for watching! 😄
What size tires and wheels are you running on this cart? Thank you for the info.
I just bought my first golf cart used .it’s a club cart 2005 for 1500.00 is that a good price. Everything is in good condition.
That’s a great price. Is it gas or electric?
So I have a 91 club car and can't seem to find the proper year for its oil filter will it it hurt it in any way if it was a 92 oil filter?
Can you take it off and compare? If the gasket lined up and it threads on easily, I don’t see why that wouldn’t work. There is an active and helpful DS owner group on Facebook you could ask. Thanks.
just bought a 1998 Club Car Ds gas for 1,600
How do you change the battery?
The battery lifts right out after disconnecting the terminals. Thanks for watching.
How did you turn the fuel off and on??
There’s a red valve in the gas line at the top of my tank.
Where did you buy the fuel filters?
Anthony Richards thanks for watching. I purchased the kit on Amazon. There’s a link in the video description. -Ed

What kind of oil did you say it takes?
Just a 4 cycle 10w-30. You could probably use a synthetic too.
2003
A 3 inch extension would solve the ratchet problem. You didn’t mention what weight oil to use. You could have mentioned how to cap the plug and tool required. You didn’t show how to turn off gas flow. Perhaps provide the parts names and model numbers?
What weight oil and how many quarts...!? We have the same cart please help...!?
Hi. I used a 10w-30 synthetic. Thanks for watching!
@@MyClutteredGarage How many quarts should I use...!?
How many quarts should I use Sir...!?
@@michaelcook5216 sorry I’m not sure. I think it’s 1+ qts. Just fill it slowly and keep checking the dipstick. Good luck!
How many quarts did you use for your golf cart...!?
What kind of oil
You can use a standard 4 cycle oil like 10w-40 or a synthetic type. Thanks for watching.
One has to wonder that if you would put a small 4 cylinder automotive engine in it ...."Would it go faster than 14 mph." lol
Traffer I bet it would! 😂 Thanks for watching!
1988 electric
My serial number is PR 1438 what does this mean?
Hi. I'm not sure on that one.
