Pearl, I used to wrench on those carts for the City of Benson, along with the EZ-GO TXT Fleet carts, all gas-powered, though we had some electric Yamaha utility carts that didn't require much maintenance. I used to adjust the governors and make the carts go faster, but I had to ratchet the fleet carts back down after some moron laid his cart over while doing donuts or brodies or whatever, lol. Tell Hub he can find manuals for the carts online, and if he needs to turn up the speed (i.e. adjust the governor), I can help there... meh, I'm sure he has it under control, but the former owner might have cut the top speed of the cart with the governor. BTW, I have some dog-related pics I'm gonna put in your 'Bear' thread, I saw a signboard for 'Dogtoberfest' today and whipped in to check it out, lol.
Anyway, I decided to run to town (again) since I'd have to go tomorrow if I didn't go today... I hit the library, which was open for business today, and picked up a stack of excellent Western novels, so I'm set for the next three weeks, lol. I like that RED CLARK O' TULLUCO series by Gordon Young, those are very entertaining... those books were written in the 1930s, so there are expressions in 'em which you won't find in modern Westerns. Gordon Young lived much closer time-wise to the Old West, so perhaps he picked up expressions which are long out of date... I also picked up some more books by Carter Travis Young, I still don't know if the two authors are related, but they both write decent Westerns. I bagged several novels by Walker A. Tompkins, haven't read his work yet but I'll give it a day in literary court, lol.
After leaving the library, I noticed the 'Dogtoberfest' sign and gathering of people, so I stopped to check it out... didn't bother buying a bracelet to drink beer at a bar they had set up in the compound, as I was gonna buy more beer at the store in a few minutes, lol. Regular admission was free, so I walked in and took a few pics, I'll post 'em in the 'Bear' thread shortly... went on to AutoZone to see if they possibly carried AMSOIL 4-stroke motorcycle oil, but no dice, I'm still waiting on word from the place that reportedly sells it, but they're closed till Monday. No worries, I can wait for the AMSOIL, though I may just buy synthetic Lucas 4-stroke cycle oil if I have to, it's supposedly compatible with the AMSOIL synthetic oil. Meh, I'll try to find the same brand first, then go with Lucas if necessary, both outfits make good oil.
Went to WallyWorld to buy another 40-lb. bag o' birdseed, which is stupid expensive right now, GRRRRR!!! Also bought some dental floss, large buff envelopes for mailing newspaper clippings to my best friend in Coronado, canned cat food, beer, and a pack of hot dogs... dunno why I bought the dogs, I still have beef sausages or brats in the fridge, but some whim drove me to buy the dogs. "Health food, baby, health food!!!" Lol. Damn. After WallyWorld, I drove home, checked the cluster mailbox (empty, no news is good news, especially no bills), and parked at the ol' hacienda to unload. Watered the fruit trees and melon & pepper plants, but left everything else because it might rain tonight. Gonna chillax now and post up some material which is classic! Cold beer in hand! Not hungry yet either, so I'm good to surf the web! Lol.
P.S. Speaking of stoopid expensive, some of those golf carts go for $10K and more, even the electric ones!!!
) and let Hubby mess with for a bit!!
! So Hub cleaned the tank ( had to lift the body to get it out) and now cleaning the carb!! Was a really nice one in it's day (it's a 1996)! Has a new starter, carb, and fairly new battery. The guy that owned it bought it new and worked on it back in March before he had a stroke. He had a heart attack 5-6 years ago and stopped golfing. It sat all those years. Hub will have it humming along!!
