Repair
The following sections of this manual provide instructions on how to repair common problems with the Club Car Kawasaki engine:
Spark plug
The spark plug is responsible for igniting the air/fuel mixture in the engine. If the spark plug is fouled or damaged, it can prevent the engine from starting or running properly. To replace the spark plug, follow these steps:
- Remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
- Use a spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug from the engine.
- Inspect the spark plug for damage or fouling. If the spark plug is damaged or fouled, replace it with a new one.
- Screw the new spark plug into the engine by hand until it is snug.
- Use a spark plug wrench to tighten the spark plug to the specified torque.
- Attach the spark plug wire to the spark plug.
Fuel filter
The fuel filter removes impurities from the fuel before it enters the carburetor. If the fuel filter is clogged, it can restrict the flow of fuel to the carburetor and prevent the engine from running properly. To replace the fuel filter, follow these steps:
- Locate the fuel filter. It is usually located between the fuel tank and the carburetor.
- Use a wrench to loosen the fuel line clamps on both sides of the fuel filter.
- Remove the fuel filter from the fuel line.
- Install the new fuel filter in the fuel line. Make sure that the arrow on the fuel filter is pointing towards the carburetor.
- Tighten the fuel line clamps.
Carburetor
The carburetor mixes air and fuel in the correct proportions for the engine to run properly. If the carburetor is dirty or clogged, it can cause the engine to run rich or lean. To clean the carburetor, follow these steps:
- Remove the air filter from the carburetor.
- Use a carburetor cleaner to spray into the carburetor. Be sure to spray into all of the ports and passages.
- Allow the carburetor cleaner to sit for a few minutes to dissolve any dirt or debris.
- Use a compressed air gun to blow out any remaining dirt or debris from the carburetor.
- Reinstall the air filter on the carburetor.
Air filter
The air filter prevents dirt and debris from entering the engine. If the air filter is dirty or clogged, it can restrict the flow of air to the engine and cause it to run poorly. To replace the air filter, follow these steps:
- Locate the air filter. It is usually located on the top of the carburetor.
- Remove the air filter cover.
- Remove the old air filter from the air filter cover.
- Install the new air filter in the air filter cover.
- Reinstall the air filter cover.
Compression
Compression is the pressure in the engine cylinder when the piston is at the top of its stroke. If the compression is too low, the engine will not have enough power to run properly. To test the compression, follow these steps:
- Remove the spark plug from the engine.
- Screw a compression tester into the spark plug hole.
- Pull the starter rope to turn the engine over.
- Read the compression reading on the compression tester.
- The compression reading should be between 100 and 150 psi. If the compression reading is below 100 psi, the engine may need to be repaired.
