The maintenance of golf cart is not at all a big deal if simple things are checked regularly. On reading the manual itself he gets an idea of performing simple and basic maintenance techniques.

Great attention must be given in proper maintenance of batteries, which is the major part of the golf cart.

First and foremost thing is to clean the batteries and refill water. The dirt, dust and grass must be cleaned and removed from the top and sides of the battery. The exteriors of the batteries can be cleaned with a mixture of baking soda and water. Never use commercial liquid cleaners and ensure the solution does not enter the battery.

Now open each cell and check the water level. If the water level is below the specified mark refill the cells with distilled water so that leaded plates must be covered in water. Never fill water up to the cap level or above the specified mark.

Moreover never leave the batteries uncharged if its charge level is low. The cable connectors and battery caps must be tightened firmly and a light coating of petroleum jelly will stop corrosion of wirings.

Another significant part of the golf cart that needs regular maintenance is its tires. The tire pressure must be maintained to the prescribed standard value. Too little or too high tire pressure will cause the tire wear quickly. Normally the tires are designed for low speeds. If the carts are driven extremely faster, the wheels and tires will not withstand the speed. Hence both have to be changed other than the standard size.

Moreover, if the cart tires are build up precisely, they can effectively direct dirt and dust outside, which helps tires to last longer.

Apart from all these, regular cleaning of spark plugs, oil filters, air filters and periodic oil change will help the golf cart to stay in good condition.

Beyond these weekly regular checks, the golfer must schedule a major check-up every three months and take the cart to a professional mechanic. The functioning of brake system, engine and suspension are systematically checked and fixed during these visits.

The golfer can easily perform simple things like cleaning batteries, checking tire pressure of his own. Of course for complex functioning problems, definitely you must seek the help of a professional mechanic. Proper weekly checkups and timely fixing the problems makes the golf cart run in great condition for several golf seasons.

 

Yes I know, engine in the wrong end. The go-kart weights 1050 kg. total Rear axle load, 385 Kg app. Front Axle load, 668 Kg app. The go-kart is build only for fun, no reason what so ever, beside that I could! I scored the old BMW 750i, V12 5.0L for 1.000$ which is cheep here in Denmark. It has (or had) 300 hp and 450 nm. Electronically limited to 250 km/h My first plan with the BMW was to scrap it all except for the engine. The engine should then have been mounted in a stand, so I could start it from time to time, just to hear the ROAR. As disassembling progressed I came up with the idea of a tire burning machine. I reused the front and aft suspension, motor and transmission. Shortened the transmission shaft by 50 cm, welded it all together in a new frame and put some seats in from an Toyota Supra mk3 The wiring and hydraulics was a great challenge as the 750i comes with tons and millions of wires and pipes. It all turned out working: traction control/asc, abs, cruise control, power steering and Self-leveling suspension. Ok for a go-kart. The result is what you see in this video. Last summer I redesigned the snout a little bit so it looks speedier (not shown on this video). The go-kart is super for smoking tires, spinning around and showing off, and with traction control engaged it has a pretty fast acceleration also. Beside for fun and great noise (the video doesnt compliment the noise thou), it is absolutely useless.

Go Cart Tires

Riding my go kart for the first time. I still have to hook up the brake and make a new steering arm as the old one is to thin and bent like butter. That will take about an hour to do, im going to make a handbrake instead of a foot brake as the foot brake didnt work out to well. My rear left tire was flat and i didnt notice until about halfway through the video i heard a funny sound and saw the back tire wobbling around on the rim. I stopped after that. I pumped all the tires up hard now so there good. Ill have a better video of it running fast 2morrow. Stay tuned.
