Issue 1

Rubber fuel and vacuum lines naturally deteriorate with time. If you are having issues with a lack of fuel getting to the carburetor, be sure to check the lines closely. With rotted fuel lines, you will either smell a gas odor or possibly see signs of leaking gas.

Issue 2

Since golf cart fuel pumps are based on a vacuum created by crankcase pressure, if there is any type of leak in the crankcase or lower end of your engine, you may experience fuel issues. An effective output cannot be produced from an engine with a leaky crankcase. Check for any outward signs of an oil leak.

Issue 3

For the price of fuel these days, it should be the cleanest substance on earth. The truth is that it is not and often contains contaminants straight from the pump. This debris can get sucked out of the fuel tank and end up lodged in the pump.
