Golf Cart Making Clicking Noise

Typically, a clicking noise on a golf cart suggests that wheels drums may be touching the sides of the vehicle. You may also hear a click sound if your car has lost any bolts that are wiggling in place as you ride your cart.

The most common side effect on a gas golf cart is the starter failing to connect, resulting in the engine not turning over and a succession of useless tapping sounds. If your golf cart fails to turn on when you turn the key on, this is the most obvious sign of solenoid failure.
Low oil pressure might be the cause of those ticking sounds. When vital engine components don`t get adequate lubrication, it might cause other problems, and the engine starts to make these noises. A broken valve train component, such as lifters or cam followers, can also cause ticking, tapping, or clicking sounds.
Worn wheel bearings can make all kinds of noises, from snapping, grinding, and humming to the clicking and popping sounds under debate. Symptoms of worn wheel bearings include uneven tyre wear, wheel vibrations, and oddly performing brakes.
When the starter motor solenoid engages, you should hear a clicking sound. If you hear a clicking sound but the starter motor isn`t moving, the solenoid could be engaging but not receiving enough battery power. If there`s no sound, the starter solenoid is likely malfunctioning or you might have a dead car battery.
If the solenoid is broken and not working correctly, you may notice your golf cart won`t start, picking up speed, or even working at all (issues with acceleration could also be caused by a bad speed controller). As technology advances, solenoids are becoming more reliable.
It should have a small reset button (Usually it will be red) located near the main battery supply. Hit the reset button and then put the cover back on the motor. The next step would be to recharge your cart and try turning it on again.
Yes, golf carts contain fuses just like those found in a car or truck.
If your golf cart is running an AC or Brushless DC motor, you won`t be going anywhere without a speed controller. In these specific types of motors, electrical signals fire back and forth which reverse in direction at different times.
You may hear rattling when you accelerate, caused by the air and fuel mixture in the cylinder that gets ignited prematurely by the compression inside the engine. This is called pre-ignition and it can damage the pistons, valves, and connecting rods inside the engine.
As you pick up speed the engine rpms increase which cause more oil to be pumped to the top of the motor resulting in the noise going away due to the valve train components receiving more oil.
A clicking noise when driving can indicate problems with your car`s oil, battery, CV joints, or brake pads. If you notice a clicking noise while driving, check your engine oil. If your oil is not low or dirty, you may be dealing with a problem with the car`s battery, starter, axles, or brakes.
In some cases, you might even start to hear lots of small, continuous clicks when you try to turn on your cart. However, in spite of these clicks, your cart isn`t going anywhere. This means that your starter isn`t working at all.
A failing solenoid will generally not click. Two things could be going on here. The solenoid might not be getting enough electricity to do its work – which could be caused by loose connections, a weak battery or the coil wearing out.

If the charger makes a clicking sound when you plug it in and then does nothing, this is a strong indication that the charger knows it`s time to charge but is failing for some reason. You should have a professional examine it. When replacing any component of your charger, check your warranty, if you have one.

Changed the plugs and fuel filters alll oe yamaha has fresh oil timing belt is good any ideas will help or fuel psi spec. I am an ase master automotive tech so I know alot about engs. To me it feels like it’s running out of gas. Like the carb bows are full when I take off but then runs out after running wot. Any info will help
ANSWER : I have exactly the same problem with my Yamaha F100, have you got any solutions yet?

I have a 2004 60 hp yamaha 2 stroke outboard engine that doesn’t start or run well. Once warm and in the water it will idle in nuetral and also in gear. It accelerates in neutral but will die or lack power if I increase throttle while in gear. Engine will somtimes get to top speed but often while running at top speed engine will start to slow rapidly. Engine has full range of operationout when out of the water where there is no load on engine but is still difficult to cold start. Before these recent problems the engine sat up for several months and I had to change the impeller and spark plugs. Spark plugs fire, cylinders have proper pressure of 100, 100, and 110. I cleaned some fuel lines and filters and got new gas.
ANSWER : Every sympton you are describing here can be attributed to fuel starvation due to blocked jets and or water in carbs, when your engine dies does it die with dry plugs, or wet oily ones?

My 2005 predator is making a weird grinding noise. It runs fine and goes into every gear good. It’s a little slow on start up. And just when i let off the gas it makes a noise like a chain hitting the case of the engine any help? Also sometimes when driving it makes a noise like a chain is slapping something.
ANSWER : Need to know if it’s a predator for 50 or 90 the drive trains very a lot if its grinding its most likely ball bearings or roller go to Polaris ATV they have diagrams and parts at a reasonable price 🙂

2008 Yamaha vx deluxe will only run about 30 mph
ANSWER : If the motor is reaching full revs look at the jet assemby for fouling or prop damage. If it is not reaching full revs get authorised mechanic to fix it, it will be cheaper in the long run.

LX 188. Engine suddenly dies. The fluel in the bowel of the fuel filter is empty. If I crank the engine the filter becomes dry and is collapsing some but the engine does not start. When I remove the supply line from the fuel pump to the carberator and crank the enginge there is a strong stream of gas being pumped out. I tap on the carberator ??? is the float is hung not allowing fuel to enter. Cranking the engine with the line off refills the bowel of the gas filter. Reattache line to the carberator===engine starts. Ran perfect for 20minutes then suddenly died. Repeated all the above and engine again started. What to do to fix this? Thanks
ANSWER : Debrie inside the needle and seat area which has to be cleaned out with carburetor cleaner and compressed air

I just purchased this Yamaha boat w/Twin MR-1 140hp motors, less than 100hrs (60 prox)and the starboard motor only reached 8000rpm on a 10000 redline spec (the port motor reaches 10000rpm. I have replaced the spark plugs immediatly and now the motor reaches 9500rpm. When the plugs were replaced the plug wire top of the plugs had a black powder residue (like graphite)and #1 & 4 plug electrode end were black minimal soot and #2 & #3 had a white color residue on the ceramic.

Any suggestions to attain the full 10000rpm?

A Yamaha dealer is 100 miles, so I would like to fix myself if possible. Thanks
