If you are having problems with your Club Car engine, the first step is to check the engine oil level. If the oil level is low, add oil until it reaches the full mark on the dipstick. If the oil level is full, the next step is to check the spark plug. If the spark plug is fouled, replace it with a new one. If the spark plug is not fouled, the next step is to check the fuel filter. If the fuel filter is clogged, replace it with a new one. If the fuel filter is not clogged, the next step is to check the carburetor. If the carburetor is clogged, clean it with carburetor cleaner. If the carburetor is not clogged, the next step is to check the fuel pump. If the fuel pump is not working, replace it with a new one.
