New issues on Old golf Equipment

Equipment is nearing nine seasons with hours ranging from 2 to 5 thousand.

Past few season we have been getting some random shut down problems on some equipment.

To find the fuel pick ups in tank are getting clogged from what I'm assuming debries etc. that come of hands and gloves falling into the tank opening.  

Easy fix.I just pulled line and grommet out together carefully.

Some where not to bad but this ones a great example.

Screen was pretty much clogged.I'll make notes to pull this tank later and give it a good flush .

Blew end off and sprayed brake clean inside tube and rolled it around and blew out with air after a few times.

Install grommet first then lightly lube tube end and reinstall.

and done for now.

3 units where having fuel issues so this off season I'll be checking and cleaning them up.

Club Car 4pass electric converted to 2 passenger

WHY?

Here is my why.

12 units of 4 passenger carts 

After getting them all running all but the 4 being used where neglected for basic battery maintanance.

This was after installing new batteries that wound up freezing.

Batterries didn't even see around! $$$$$

I was told some where being sold but I'm thinking there isn't much market for them after installing new batteries ...again and some may need new brushes and possible controllers.

At a total cost of $3450 before taxes then add the value of the cart 2 to 3 thousand.

We would have to sell them for at least 7 to 8 thousand dollars each for a 2015 cart.

We have alot of staff here during the summer.

I'm thinking maybe convert them to 2 seater for staff and marshalls to use on course and save 4 for the school.

 

Looking at ,it literally looks like they where sawsalled in half and streatched with aluminium beams.

I was right.

Wiring harness also had an added piece with connection points.

Cut the beam and reinstall back in framing.

Using original bolts drill and rebolt together.

Very solid.

I took a good 12" off . 

It left a very long section on both side of framing.

Extra wiring harness .

Also had a bugger of a time trying to get it working again to find out when I pulled it apart it also pulled out one of the mcor4 wires .

Looks great can't wait to try it today.

Set it up to the max speed and it also has the bigger electric motor 3.7 hp 

And done.

Hopefully they like it and convert the other 7. 

Could even rent them out for some $$$$$ for the course .

Cheaper than buying more gear in these trying times .
