Hope you guys can help a new, novice member.
I have a 2012 Yamaha YDRA Drive that I bought about a year ago "offlease". The cart ran fine last summer and was serviced (filters, plugs, etc) when I bought it. As weather turned colder it became difficult to start and it acted as if it was not getting fuel. If choked it would run for a few seconds and stop. A service tech came out and found a blockage in the vacumn line to the fuel pump. Cleaned that up and ran fine again for a few weeks.
Well the problem returned. I checked the vacumn line and it was working fine. During the process of looking at possible issues I removed the air cleaner lid and air filter. The cart was still cold natured but ran fine with both off. Found out cart ran with pre filter left in but air filter removed and lid closed. I did also check air intake for obstructions. The air filter that was in there looked brand new, I have ordered a new one to try that.
Anyone have any ideas as to other possible causes and remedies? Thanks for your help.
