Harley Davidson Golf Cart makes a metal sound when running.
When driving the golf cart it makes like a metallic sound as if something is grinding or touching while it is in drive. I have lubed up everything I can think of and can not see what the problem may be or what is causing the sound. It is not a loud sound but I have noticed it over time. Anyone else ever run into this?

Clutch, engine mount, rear end, a loose muffler, all candidates. Take off the drive belt and run the engine. If it still makes the noise, your rear end and driven clutch are good. If its still rattling, remove the drive clutch. If it still rattles, your drive clutch is good. Keep working your way back to the engine.

I have this issue on one of my 85 Columbias which are pretty much the same engine. My noise in internal to the engine, unfortunately, likely the bearings. It's really loud. I have been waiting for the bearing to fail so I can tear things down but, son of a gun, the thing just keeps running. |

Mine had evidence of the crank throw touching the inside of the case, and also the starter belt pulley on the clutch touching the outside of the case...... But I also had excessive lateral end play on the crank so I wasn't too surprised, took care of it on the rebuild with more shims |
