  If your Club Car engine is overheating, several factors could be the cause. First, check for any obstructions in the cooling air flow at the inlet or cylinder baffle portion and clean if necessary. Ensure that you are using the proper engine oil; if not, replace it. A lean air/fuel mixture can also cause overheating, so inspect and replace the throttle body and pulsation damper if needed.
