I have a Gas Club Car Carryall (Golf Cart)....My question: Would this Thermo-Tec be of much use to dampen/deaden the engine sound from my golf cart? I am considering placing some under the bed of the rear of the golf cart, under the front seats, and even possibly the floor board of the golf cart. Would this work good, great, poorly? Or would this be a waste of time completely?

I used it to insulate the engine compartment of my UTV, and the sound difference is incredible! As an added bonus, it also does a good job of reflecting engine heat.

Sorry, but I can't give you an answer because I'm not sure if they are adding any dampening to my toyota 2003 Echo. Road noise is still quite noticeable even with the windows tightly closed.

The material does add weight, buts its sound dampening appears quite good. A golf cart has less weight issues, it seems to me, than an automobile. It appears that you have a motorized golf cart with a 4 stroke engine (I am familair with the quiet electric carts) so I don't know if your results will be worthwhile.

It might, it helped in my car for my system. Try going to a car audio store or just call them and they should be able to tell if you would make a difference or even recommend something better

it will help some but I use my Fat Mat for a pumped 212cc engine in an enclosed engine box (for a boat). I have some of the same issues and found that I have become an expert custom exhaust builder to reduce a lot of noise from my motor. In your case look for a silencer as well.

I use the cheapest (and lowest octane) gas I can find these days. I do however use Marine Grade StaBil in every refill I get from the station. Any of the StaBil gas additives will work, but the Husgvarna rep told me that the Marine Grade would hold up much better. I leave gas in the cans and even in the equipment ( mowers, blowers, edgers, etc.) while stored for the winter and the StaBil holds the gas over quite well. For equipment that I use in the late fall and winter (the blower) I use whatever gas treatment for moister removal that the local Advance Auto has on sale (same stuff I use in my automobiles). Hope this helps. I use the cheapest (and lowest octane) gas I can find these days. I do however use Marine Grade StaBil in every refill I get from the station.

It is required to be OUTSIDE. The Exhaust from natural gas is pretty clean, yet toxic and being so cleaned you won't noticed you are being poisoned. KEEP IT OUTSIDE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD IT BE IN A GARAGE. I am not yelling, I am just making sure you get it. The plastic is pretty durable, but if you want to extend its life, put a vinyl fence around it for shade. Just make sure to leave enough space to breath and exhaust as well as to do maintenance. Also make sure you instal it with plenty of clearance from the house. At least 3 ft, but check the local code.

I can only respond based on what I have heard from others in my VW club. They have recommended that this be carried in our antique VW's, in case there is an engine fire. I don't know if anyone has used it but they do recommend it.

Loose enough for the ball to roll down inside it. Not a tight or push fit by any stretch. You should have room for a lubed patch if you wanted to get a better seal & more distance out of it, but I don't think it's necessary: the sudden force of acceleration should be sufficient to deform the golf ball to get a good gas seal. I would have definitely chosen to "season" the inside much like with a cast iron skillet if I'd kept the one I purchased [the quality of the threading on the one I'd purchased was not great/off axis.]

I bought the drive cogs with my alternator purchase. I've replaced many of these and I know how hard the rubber cogs become after years of use and engine heat.It is not absolutely necessary but it helps keep the noise to a minimum.

I have it in my 2006 FLHRCI and I put it in full strength as directed. It helps immensely if you let it heat up in the sun for a couple of hours and even then it will take a while for it to run out of the bottle. Its an awesome product though (IMO). Quieted down my gear whine and made finding neutral easy from either direction......Just make sure everything is nice and warm when draining and refilling.

If you cut the hole, you have to use the sound generator. I didnt cut the hole and i removed the whole sound generator system. It really cleaned up my engine bay. You get less engine noise in the cabin, but a better sound when the engine is revved up

I have lots of motors, and Mike is using "Sea-Foam" I'm sure. Good stuff. I use sta-bil, and on occasion add some Lucas gas treatment. I don't drain gas, it's a pain, and it stinks having a dry carburetor and trying to prime things in the dark, right when you need it. Better to run what you got every month or so, a generator should be placed under load as well, to create some heat in the electronics

Sammy ... I bought a new fuel pump for my Yamaha golf cart and it seemed to do well, but now, I have the same problem you are having. It will move when you push the pedal down, but after a short while will just stall and sit there ... no matter how much you push down the pedal. We then have to push or tow it to where we're going. I have been told that it is probably a carburetor problem, but I haven't had anyone look at it yet.

It (by itself) does not stop someone from using a spare. But where are they getting the spare?? Are they carrying one around to match your car? The club makes it near impossible to drive away with your car (or in my case a pop up camper.) You could use a keyed lug to make it more difficult if it is easy for them to provide a spare.

It keeps all my temps 7 to 8 degrees F lower with it. As to noise, it has a speed controller on the outside of it. I keep it almost all the way down and with it all the way down its noticeable..not that bad IMO, turn it up all the way and it sounds like a jet engine.

I used mine more in the spring and shared with a friend who never has golfed before, to build the muscle memory needed in golf. This club totally helps build your swing tempo and helps line up your hands for a proper grip. You could use it in your back yard, to get your swing rhythm up to "par" before actually going to the range or course. I have also brought mine to the range for a some pre swing warmups. You could use a couple of golf clubs to get the same warm up effect, but would still recommend this club if you are looking to build up your swing tempo and swing muscle memory. good luck.

I have it on a 347 stroker engine so I don't hear it. I think it cools great for the engine. Yes I would buy it again.

If the noise is coming from the metal or plastic vibrating, it may help a great deal, but if it's just engine noise, the product probably won't help at all. It's decent at sound deadening, but practically useless for sound blocking.

Why did you do so? You choke it only at cold start, and make it WOT when it warms up.My experince is that the engine works fine. The snow discharge shoot is poorly designed. The wing-nut loosens with vibrations after few minutes of operation, thus you lose control of where you want it to go. I am personally working on a patch modification to keep it tight at the angle I want it to be. May reverse-engineer another brand's design when I go to the hardware store. I would have preferred to pay few more $$ and get a better rated machine. Table it to "lessons learned."
