Fuel/Hour Gauge Installation
1. Install a new gauge into hole in dash. Be sure flange seats tightly against dash (Figure 12-23,
Page 12-21).
2. Slide the mounting bracket onto the threaded studs on back of the fuel/hour gauge. Secure mounting
bracket to the gauge with two lockwashers and hex nuts. Tighten hardware to 2.5 in-lb. (.28 N·m). Place
one drop of Loctite™ on each hex nut. Do not allow Loctite to come into contact with the fuel/hour
gauge casing.
3. Connect the blue wire from the key switch to the (2) terminal, the orange wire from the fuel level send-
ing unit to the (1) terminal, the black wire from the frame ground to the (3) terminal, and the white wire
from the solenoid to the (4) terminal.
4. Reinstall the center dash in reverse order of removal. Be sure that key switch terminals cannot touch
the frame and that panel is properly seated and snapped in place.
5. Connect battery cables, positive cable first, and tighten terminals to 20 ft-lb (27.1 N·m) (Figure 12-1,
Page 12-2). Coat terminals with Battery Protector Spray (Club Car Part No. 1014305).
FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 12-1.
Testing the Fuel Level Sending Unit
See Section 11, Test Procedure 25, Page 11-35.
The fuel level sending unit is an integral part of the fuel tank and should never be removed. Thoroughly test
the fuel level sending unit before replacing the fuel tank.
RPM LIMITER
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 12-1.
Testing the RPM Limiter
See Test Procedure 14, Section 11, Page 11-29.
RPM Limiter Removal
1. Disconnect the battery cables as shown (Figure 12-1, Page 12-2).
2. Disconnect the white/black wire from the black wire at the bullet connector located near the RPM limiter
(2) (Figure 12-24, Page 12-23).
3. Disconnect the other black wire from the bullet connector near the RPM limiter.
4. Remove the two flange head bolts from the RPM limiter band and remove the RPM limiter and damper
(Figure 12-24, Page 12-23).
RPM Limiter Installation
1. Place the RPM limiter damper on the front of the mounting bracket (Figure 12-24, Page 12-23).
2. Place the RPM limiter on the damper squarely so that limiter fits tightly against damper.
3. Place the band over the RPM limiter and align the holes. Install the brown wire with the ring connector
onto the flange head bolt and secure the left side (driver side) of the band. Use another flange head bolt
to secure the other side of the band. Make sure the band holds the RPM limiter securely in place.
