How to Replace your Starter Generator Belt on the 2004 Club Car DS Gas Golf Cart

[@Bumsteady08]

thank you very much I used the strap and laid a 2x4 across the engine opening to pry with a pry bar as well. Don't know if I would have gotten anywhere without this video

I have to say thank you for the strap belt trick! It worked perfectly! Saved our trip.

Great call with the ratchet strap. I didn't have a second set of hands so I hooked it under the back seat and put a block of wood on the seat itself so I didn't tear the vinyl. Ratcheted it down and the belt is super snug now and it starts like a dream. Looked in there one last time and realized I got the belt twisted while putting it on. Fail on my part, but at least I know how to do it now!

Thanks, have to help a friend change both belts. Video really helped me understand what I need to do

Will a loose belt give you a hesitation when you push pedal to start on gas DS

I have a 2006 club car xrt810 and I can’t get the starter belt tight enough, I’ve tried everything except a ratchet strap. I’m going to try it tomorrow, I hope it works, it seems like a great idea

It is pretty difficult, the tool club car recommends is a type of pry-bar that is designed specifically for this use. I think since posting this video, we ended up making ourselves a tool for it. I hope the strap works for you. Thanks for watching.

@@GoodShepherdsHomestead it worked pretty damn well! I just need a new belt, it slips but rarely

It's much easier to pop the drive clutch off.

Want size is the drive belt

[@wigidy12]

Is there a reason why you wouldn't loosen the adjustment brackets first?

[@stephaniedamico4970]

Been having trouble with 98 Club Car starter belt it keep getting lose and slipping off. Replaced with a new belt and same thing happened. Can you recommend a specific belt that is meant for the cart? TY

That belt needs a load of tension to stop pulley slip... A tensioner arm or adjuster would have improved design. I made a lever rod to pull tension. As nut tightened. Plus a lift out panel in body to access motor .. Plus try and get a high quality original grade belt as chinese knock offs not as user friendly.

Great video thanks! I bought a 96 ds and the belt looks new, but it squeals quite often on startup? thoughts?

[@itsRellish]

mine squeals bad as well. I think its the clutch going bad! when It gets goin it runs great but at start up the noise is terrible! not a 100% sure though don't have much experience with carts

[@itsRellish]

actually just replaced the starter generator belt and took all the squealing and delay out of start up. Mine looked new as well but when I took it off and compared to the new one it was stretched out a lot.

[@tomivancic10]

Thanks for your videos, very helpful👍

[@ollyglindon3459]

[@BobbyFigliola]
