FE350 ENGINE General Information Spark Plug Removal See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1. ý CAUTION • Before removal and disassembly, clean the engine. Remove all dirt from plug base in the cylinder head before removing plug. Use a 13/16-inch deep well socket wrench or 13/16-inch spark plug wrench to loosen the plug.
FE350 ENGINE Cylinder Head Setting the Spark Gap 1. Before setting the spark gap on a used plug, pass a contact point file between the electrodes to produce flat, parallel surfaces to facilitate accurate gauging. 2. Use a wire type gauge. Bend the outside or ground electrode so only a slight drag on the gauge is felt when passing it between the electrode.
FE350 ENGINE Crankcase CRANKCASE See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1. ENGINE REMOVAL To perform repairs on crankcase components, the engine must be removed from the vehicle. ý CAUTION • Before removal and disassembly, clean the engine. 1. Remove the powertrain. See Unitized Transaxle Removal, Section 16, Page 16-7. See following NOTE.
FE350 ENGINE Ignition Coil and Flywheel 2. Install crankcase cover. Using HANDS ONLY, seat cover completely against the crankcase. If the cover will not seat, the camshaft is not installed correctly. 3. Install and finger tighten evenly the eight cover mounting bolts (Figure 13-7, Page 13-7). 4.

SECTION 14 – FUEL SYSTEM ý DANGER • See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1. ý WARNING • See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1. GENERAL INFORMATION The engine is equipped with a float bowl type carburetor with fixed jets that require no adjustment. The car- buretor atomizes the fuel, mixes it with air, and feeds the combustible mixture into the cylinder.

FUEL SYSTEM Carburetor NOTE: Make sure the fuel bowl gasket (9) remains properly seated in the carburetor body when the fuel bowl is removed (Figure 14-2, Page 14-4). During normal operation, the fuel bowl retains the float pivot pin (6). Make sure that the float pivot pin does not fall out of the carburetor body after the fuel bowl is removed.
Page 128
FUEL SYSTEM Carburetor Changing the Main Jet, Continued: 6. Remove the main jet (8) from the carburetor body and discard it (Figure 14-2, Page 14-4). NOTE: Make sure the fuel nozzle (7) does not fall out of the carburetor body after removal of the main jet. This is best accomplished by positioning the carburetor upside down during main jet removal (Figure 14-2, Page 14-4).
FUEL SYSTEM Engine Control Linkage NOTE: Inspect the main jet nozzle (7), and pilot jet (4) to ensure they are free from contamination. Replace any part that is clogged with contamination. Replace the float if it is damaged, or if the float valve is damaged or worn.
FUEL SYSTEM Engine Control Linkage ACCELERATOR ROD ý DANGER • To ensure the vehicle does not run over you while you disconnect or adjust the accelerator push rod, do the following: • Turn key switch OFF and remove key, place Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, and chock wheels prior to servicing the vehicle.
Page 131
FUEL SYSTEM Engine Control Linkage ý CAUTION • Be sure that approximately an equal number of threads are exposed at each end of the accelerator rod. 6. Install the accelerator rod on the bell crank ball joint on the electrical component box (Figure 14-5, Page 14-7).

• See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1. GENERAL INFORMATION All gasoline-powered Club Car vehicles manufactured since the beginning of the 1997 model year are equipped with heavy-duty, fully-synchronized Unitized Transaxles. The unitized transaxle utilizes fully-syn- chronized internal gearing to change vehicle direction. Because the unitized transaxle is used to reverse vehi- cle direction, the engine, drive clutch, belt, and driven clutch rotate in the same direction;...
UNITIZED TRANSAXLE General Information Governor System The governor system regulates vehicle ground speed. It is mounted inside the unitized transaxle and is driven by transaxle gears. If any of the governor linkages are removed in order to service other components, read- justment of the governor linkage is required.

For minor adjustments, the nut (1) may be loosened and the ball joint socket (2) rotated to get the proper adjustment (Figure 16-53, Page 16-22).
Maintaining proper adjustment of the engine and governor, as well as the torque converter, is essential to the troubleshooting process. If these adjustments are within Club Car specifications and, when climbing a steep hill, the engine begins to lose RPM before the drive belt reaches the top of the driven clutch, there is a torque converter problem.
