Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
Compatible equipment / model
- Club Car DS Gas with FE290 engine (1998-up)
- Club Car Precedent Gas with FE290 engine
- Club Car Carryall Gas with FE290 engine
- Club Car Turf Gas with FE290 engine
Product Overview
An FE290 that starts only with choke, floods, surges, or has sat with ethanol fuel may have varnish or corrosion inside the carburetor after fuel flow, ignition, compression, and governor operation are confirmed. This replacement restores the main fuel-metering assembly for compatible Club Car gas applications.
Model name alone is not enough because Club Car used several engines and carburetor revisions. Verify the FE290 engine tag, mounting flange, choke and throttle linkages, fuel inlet, vent routing, and original number.

- Covers DS, Precedent, Turf, and Carryall applications

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Match FE290 engine identification, 1016438-series reference, mounting studs, throat size, fuel inlet, choke lever, throttle linkage, and governor connection. Model year, production date, serial number, trim, engine, installed options, and previous repairs can affect fitment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can an FE290 fuel pump mimic carburetor trouble? A: Yes. Low fuel delivery can cause lean running or stalling, so test the pump and filter before replacing the carburetor.
Q: Does this fit every Club Car gas engine? A: No. It is for compatible FE290 applications, not FE350 or Kawasaki-powered carts unless the original carburetor matches the listed numbers.
Q: What should I compare before ordering? A: Match FE290 engine identification, 1016438-series reference, mounting studs, throat size, fuel inlet, choke lever, throttle linkage, and governor connection.
Q: Is this supplied by the original equipment manufacturer? A: No. This is a new aftermarket part. Brand names and reference numbers identify fitment only.
Package note: One carburetor is included with gaskets or small fuel-system pieces only when shown.
