Hello, All! I thought I had an account on this forum but I had to register as a new member, maybe because I haven't been on in a while. I'd like your advice on the value in rebuilding the carb on my 05.5 DS.
I'm approaching my 10 yr. anniversary of proud CC ownership, and in addition to the regular spring maintenance this year I am tuning/overhauling everything I can - engine, brakes, bearings etc. No problems with the cart, I'm just trying to get an edge back on my friend who for the first time last year was able to outrun me through the campground in his Yamaha.
I don't see much dialog on regular rebuilding or overhauling the carb on this or the other cart forums, and the parts outlets appear to market the rebuild kits as repair and not maintenance items. Like I said, not having any "problems" with how it runs - just want to know if there is a recommended service interval that may help a bit. I know when I had my boat, I replaced the float and needles every few years on the Mercury 2-cycle, and it made a big difference.
What are your thoughts and recommendations? Thanks!
