CDI Ignition Unit 3040 Figure 14-1 EFI System Components RELIEVING FUEL PRESSURE In the event that servicing the EFI fuel system necessitates removal of the fuel delivery hose, extreme caution must be exercised.
FUEL SYSTEM: GASOLINE VEHICLES Throttle Body NOTE: To absorb any residual fuel the may be present in the fuel hose, place a rag or towel around the hose at the end being disconnected. THROTTLE BODY See General Warnings on page 1-1. Before suspecting the throttle body as the cause of poor engine performance, make sure the fuel and ignition systems are in proper operating condition.
Throttle Body FUEL SYSTEM: GASOLINE VEHICLES 3041 Figure 14-2 Throttle Body – Exploded View THROTTLE BODY INSTALLATION See General Warnings on page 1-1. Install throttle body (1) and its related components onto threaded studs in order as shown (Figure 14-2, Page 14-4).

FUEL SYSTEM: GASOLINE VEHICLES Throttle Body Connect governor cable to bracket (4). Connect breather hose (2) to air intake adapter (3). Connect air intake hose and secure with hose clamp. If removed, install fuel tank. See Fuel Tank Installation, Section 14, Page 14-22. If equipped, install air deflector on top of engine.
Engine Control Linkages FUEL SYSTEM: GASOLINE VEHICLES ENGINE CONTROL LINKAGES See General Warnings on page 1-1. 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 the wheels prior to servicing the vehicle.
FUEL SYSTEM: GASOLINE VEHICLES Engine Control Linkages GROUND SPEED NOTE: If possible, the manufacturer recommends measuring ground speed when setting engine RPM. This vehicle should reach the forward ground speed specified in Section 2 – Vehicle Specifications. See How to Measure Ground Speed on page 14-13.

Engine Control Linkages FUEL SYSTEM: GASOLINE VEHICLES CLOSED THROTTLE OR IDLE ADJUSTMENT – PEDAL-START VEHICLES When the accelerator pedal is released, the engine will stop. Therefore, it is not possible to measure or set idling speed under normal vehicle operating conditions. Set throttle valve as follows: Loosen the throttle body idle screw so that it is not touching the throttle lever (Figure 14-11, Page 14-12).
FUEL SYSTEM: GASOLINE VEHICLES Engine Control Linkages HOW TO MEASURE GROUND SPEED Best Method An easy way to check ground speed is by using a GPS device or smartphone application (app). If these are not available, use the alternate method below. Alternate Method (Calculated) Ground speed is easily determined by a known distance travelled, divided by the amount of time it took to travel that known distance (Rate = Distance/Time).

To remain in compliance with California and EPA regulations, replace any fuel vent hose on this vehicle with Club Car P/N's 102865101, 1015137, or equivalent. FUEL TANK REMOVAL Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, chock the wheels, and the neutral lockout switch in the MAINTENANCE position.
3/16 in (4.78 mm) fuel vent hose (CC P/N 1015137). To remain in compliance with California and EPA regulations, replace any fuel vent hose on this vehicle with Club Car P/N's 102865101, 1015137, or equivalent. Place fuel tank (10) in vehicle.
FUEL SYSTEM: GASOLINE VEHICLES Fuel Filter Connect fuel line (3) to fuel pump module (1). See Fuel Line Installation on page 14-17. See following DANGER. DANGER • Ensure line is connected properly to avoid a leak that can cause a fire. Connect wire harness plug (2) to fuel pump module (1).
Fueling Instructions – Gasoline Vehicle FUEL SYSTEM: GASOLINE VEHICLES FUEL FILTER INSTALLATION CAUTION • Fuel filter flex hoses are keyed to aid proper installation into fuel pump module. NOTE: The fuel filter is keyed to the fuel pump module to prevent incorrect assembly. The inlet and outlet flex hoses are keyed to the fuel filter ports to prevent incorrect assembly.
Page 233
FUEL SYSTEM: GASOLINE VEHICLES Fueling Instructions – Gasoline Vehicle CAUTION • Use unleaded gasoline only. • Whenever possible, avoid using oxygenated and blended fuels. • Do not use any fuel with an alcohol content that exceeds 10% by volume (such as E15 and E85). Ethanol is an alcohol that readily absorbs moisture, causing corrosion of fuel system components.

SECTION 16 — CLUTCHES: GASOLINE VEHICLES DANGER Clutches: Gasoline Vehicles • See General Warnings on page 1-1. WARNING • See General Warnings on page 1-1. GENERAL INFORMATION The torque converter consists of a drive clutch, a driven clutch, and a drive belt. The drive clutch, which is mounted to the engine, is in the open position when the engine is at idle.
Troubleshooting CLUTCHES: GASOLINE VEHICLES If cleaning the driven clutch does not solve the problem, disassemble and thoroughly clean all parts of the drive clutch. Be sure to clean the plastic drive buttons (7) (Figure 16-3, Page 16-4). (CC P/N 101809101) (CC P/N 1014497) (CC P/N 1014508) (CC P/N 1014507)
CLUTCHES: GASOLINE VEHICLES Drive Belt DRIVE BELT See General Warnings on page 1-1. The drive belt should be inspected semiannually for wear and (or) glazing. If it is excessively worn, frayed, or glazed, replace the belt. As the drive belt wears, the engine RPM will increase to compensate for the change in torque converter ratio. This will keep the vehicle’s maximum ground speed correct.
CLUTCHES: GASOLINE VEHICLES Drive Clutch 8. Drive Clutch Weight 17. Spacer, Idler, Drive 9. Thrust Washer 18. Sheave, Fixed, Drive 2960 Figure 16-3 Drive Clutch – Exploded View CAUTION • Be very careful when handling the clutches. A clutch that has been dropped will not be properly balanced.
Drive Clutch CLUTCHES: GASOLINE VEHICLES WARNING • Lift only one end of the vehicle at a time. Use a suitable lifting device (chain hoist or hydraulic floor jack) with 1000 lb. (454 kg) minimum lifting capacity. Do not use lifting device to hold vehicle in raised position.
CLUTCHES: GASOLINE VEHICLES Drive Clutch DRIVE CLUTCH DISASSEMBLY CAUTION • The drive clutch is balanced as an assembly. Before disassembly, make match marks on the drive clutch hub and on the moveable sheave so they can be reassembled in the same positions (Figure 16-6, Page 16-7).

See following NOTE. NOTE: Before removing, note the orientation of the wave washer (1) and secondary weight (2) on the primary weight (3) (Figure 16-10, Page 16-9).
CLUTCHES: GASOLINE VEHICLES Drive Clutch Figure 16-10 Primary and Secondary Weights, Wave Washer and Pin Remove the retaining ring (6) from the shaft of the fixed sheave (18) and slide the moveable sheave (13) off the shaft (Figure 16-3, Page 16-4). See following NOTE. NOTE: If the moveable sheave is removed from the hub of the fixed sheave, the spiral back-up rings (11) must be replaced with new rings (Figure 16-3, Page 16-4).
Drive Clutch CLUTCHES: GASOLINE VEHICLES Inspect the primary weights (8) and the hub casting for wear. If the primary weights show signs they are touching the casting, the tips of the weights have worn beyond specification and they must be replaced. Inspect the pins on the primary weights (8).
CLUTCHES: GASOLINE VEHICLES Drive Clutch NOTE: Make sure there is at least a (minimum) gap of 0.020 in. (0.51 mm) between each end of the mounting pin and the mounting bolt. Install three drive button take-up springs. 11.1. Install each spring on right-hand side of the three button mounting posts (when looking into the interior of the clutch drive hub, and with the rib at a twelve o’clock position) as shown (Figure 16-13, Page 16-11).
