1999 will not start

[craig8d8]

so i have a 1999 club car with the gas motor, turns over fine but will not fire. first found that the fuel pump was bad. I replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter still no fire.....removed and cleaned the carb....still no fire...checked spark and it was fine but i went ahead and replaced the spark plug...still no fire. also i have checked the plug and it doesnt seem wet..??

i can make it run by removing the air intake hose and spraying starter fluid.



let me add that i was "given" this cart after it sat up for one year. it ran great when it was last parked.


HELP!!! lol

maybe starter generator brushes are weak

Yes that is the first thing I would do, if it runs you know you got a fuel problem.

i had a similar problem on a '92. turned out the brass fitting for the fuel line going into the carb you were able to move that should not be. that caused the carb to suck more air then fuel. I installed a good used carb and that took care of it . so i would check the fitting and make sure you can not move or rotate it
