Repair golf carts... Sounds simple doesn't it? When a golf cart breaks down it will need repaired. This is a no brainier. But a golf cart is a much more complicated machine than you may think. If you are going to attempt repairing it yourself you may want to try to analyze what is wrong with it.

Is it the motor? Are the wheels in good shape? Is there a broken axle? These are all things that you need to find out by doing an inspection of your golf cart. This will also help you narrow down if you are able to fix your cart yourself or if you perhaps need to take it to a professional. Sometimes the problem may be small such as it needing some oil or tightening nuts and bolts. These are small fixes that with a few household tools you can repair yourself.

Although, if it is a larger problem you are not going to be able to fix it easily. Problems such as a blown motor or a broken axle will require the help of a professional. Although, if you want to attempt to fix it yourself you will need the proper tools. Nothing can stop work flow faster than not having the correct tools for repairing.

If anything needs to be taken apart I suggest getting baby food jars or small plastic bowls for holding screws, springs, or other small parts that may be lost easily. Always try to lay your parts out strategically when you disassemble the engine or other parts. Working like that will help you keep all the parts in their place and keep a place for all your parts.

Also if you take an extended rest you may find it difficult to remember what part goes where. So, in repairs to anything you need to have everything organized. If you can't figure out what's wrong it might be time to call in a professional. Most small engine shops will repair golf carts. Also keep in mind your local library as well as online have a lot of e-books and books about repairing golf carts. If you can't figure out what's wrong by yourself. Maybe a trip to your local library is in order. If you can't transport your golf cart yourself you might try calling some repair shops. Many shops offer to pick up and drop off repair work. Find the right person to repair your golf cart for you if you can't do it yourself. If you own a repair golf cart shop you might be interested in a domain for your work.

electric tip

keep your nuts tight

they can heat up and melt your lead battery post


no really ...
once a month check your cable nuts and make sure they are tight .. do not over tighten them just snug


there is a great debate on washers / lock washers .. i prefer nothing between my cable and the nut
