drives in reverse, randomly forward
 

I did a search and havent found an answer ...

I have a 99 four stroke that I eyeballed the gap setting on the valves.( I'm not sure if this is part of the issue or not.)
The cart ran great for a month, then the cart does always move in forward.

It appears the the clutch is moving ( i will need to check direction compared to reverse); but, There is no movement.
Make any sense?

I switched the forward / reverse back and forth quickly then it ran forward briefly and dropped off.

Any possible suggestions.

sorry for the quick verbage, i was typing between calls at work.
Tx

You may have a stripped out hub. Take off the hubcap and have someone watch the nut on the axle ( both sides ), while you try and move the cart. If the nut is spinning, the hub is stripped out. It has a splined axle and the hub is the part that usually strip's out. When you get a hub, tighten the nut to 140ft lbs, and tighten it more to line up the cotter pin hole, if necessary. :mrgreen:

Your valve adjustment is important to do correctly, but it has no bearing on the no go issue.
