Golf cart has decided not to start since I put a full tank of gas in.
Local suggested putting STP in the gas.
Thoughts from those who understand this stuff?

TIA

If the engine will not crank STP will not fix it.

Hmm. This kind of engine has never "cranked" it always starts
instantly. I am going to check the battery and the plug.

Lou


Check the battery? Does the starter operate, or not? I'd think you'd
know that already.

Reminds me of three college girls I once saw, pushing their car, trying
to pop-start it. I went out and tried the key, the engine cranked over
just fine. I told them to stop pushing and look elsewhere, but they
would have none of my internal combustion engine theory. They kept
pushing for another half-hour, oblivious to reason.
