If there is forward pressure on the tires they may resist turning. If the cart is not moving the wheels will be more difficult to turn. Most golf carts do not have power steering.

Hi, if it starts again after a litle wile ,then you must have a petrol level inside the carburator tha is to low. in the fuel chamber you find a buoy that controls the amount of petrol coming into the carburator. If this level is to low you just run out of fuel after a fast ride.
Also you must check that your gas tank "breathes" so air can go in as fuel comes out, otherwise it will stop fuel from running due to a vacuum process.
Good luck

How can you make the yamaha razz faster

There will be a fuel line running from the gas tank to the carb. The carb will have a cable connected to the twist grip on the handle bar. On most bikes the carb is found on the top - back side of the cylinder. Also clean the air filter connected to the back of the carb and install a new spark plug.

sounds like the fuel line maybe blocking?or the float level in the carby is to low

check you main fuse

The belt has to be the exact correct width or the clutch will not function properly. Too thin and it will rev too high and run slow. Too wide and you wont be able to pull off. The same with a belt that is too long.

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly.
The new carb. fuel mixture adjustment screw should be very close to the setting needed to operate the engine normally. You should not have to move the screw more than 1/8 th turn in either direction from the current ORIGINAL setting.
You mentioned the engine smokes really bad. Several things cause a smoking engine:
1. Older engine
a. Piston oil rings stuck to the piston skirt or rings worn out
b. Piston wear
c. Cylinder wear
d. Valve stem and valve guide wear
e. Valve head and valve seat wear.
f. Crankcase breather clogged
g. Overserviced engine oil.

Perform a compression test on the engine. You should have a minimum of 120 PSI pressure. The higher the pressure the better. If the cylinder compression is under 110 PSI the engine needs some serious maintenance.

I can not emphasize enough that the new carb needing any major adjustments is a symptom of other problems within the engine. Like I mentioned earlier if you have to make a fuel mixture adjust more than 1/8 th turn in any direction from the original setting something else is wrong.

IF by chance someone got over anxious and has moved the fuel mixture screw start at 1.5 turns from just barely closed. I am surprized that the new carb did not come with a plastic cap over the mixture screw.

Thanks for choosing FixYa,

Most bikes u have to take all apart for the timing...they should not be out of time unless someone put it together wrong

No. If the original ball joint was rivieted, you will need to cut the rivets to remove it. The replacements will use bolts to fasten them.

Yes a pw 80 is a two stroke engine, it uses two stroke oil to lubricate the engine, it enters by means of the inlet,mixed with the fuel and air, then once ignited it attomises to form a mist and lubricates the internals of the engine, the lubrication system of a two stroke is known as a total waste system, the oil goes in, lubricates,and leavs in the form of smoke, the smoke will be more noticable when the choke is applied, the problem would be severe if no smoke was visible, exsess smoke may suggest the exhaust, port, or silencer needs de cokeing, this would require removal of the exhaust and manualy remove obstructions, loss of power could be associated with this, good luck paul

It will probably be OK but if unsure pull the plugs out and spin the engine over, this will show if water has entered.
Do this with the kill button off so the ignition wont be damaged

your local yamaha dealer can.

Check fuses. Get a new spark plug then check for spark by hooking up the plug wire then hold the metal side of the plug against the cylinder. Have a friend kick the engine over while you look for spark. Remove the carb, then remove the float bowl from the bottom of the carb. Use spray carb cleaner to clean the carb. How old is the gas? Flush the tank and fill with fresh fuel if old gas is present. Please rate my answer. Thanks.
