The Club Car Gas Valve Stem Seal is one of those parts that will rear its ugly head very quickly once it starts to go faulty. This is a seal that installs on the intake valve. If it is leaking, it can allow gas vapor to make it into the cylinder when it is not supposed to. If that happens, a condition called a preloaded cylinder is created.This means that before the spark occurs, there is already fuel in the cylinder. So, the intake stroke brings more in, now we have way too much, and when the spark plug does fire, it will make a loud bang. This phenomenon is called a backfire, and it sounds like a gun going off behind your caddie. If you stay on top of repairs like the golf cart valve stem seal, you can avoid pants wetting moments like these. All you need to do is call Buggies Unlimited and get an order placed. Get a tune-up kit while you are here; it never hurts.
