Club Car Carryall 1 FE290 jetting is year-sensitive. A 1997 application uses #80 main / #45 pilot at 0–3000 ft, while 2001–2003 Carryall 1 data uses #82 main / #40 pilot. Match the year before ordering.

Rich symptoms
Black smoke or plug fouling can also come from a stuck choke, high float level or leaking needle valve.
How to choose the correct Club Car Carryall 1 jet
Carryall 1 jetting symptoms
Needs choke to run
Clean the pilot and main circuits and check fuel supply and an intake leak before fitting a larger jet.
Bogs under load
A restricted main jet can cause this, but so can weak pump flow, low bowl fuel level or a blocked filter.
Black smoke / fouled plug
Check choke position, float level and needle sealing before assuming the main jet is too large.
Runs well only at low speed
Main-jet or main-nozzle restriction becomes more likely once the pilot circuit is known to be clear.
Poor idle only
The pilot circuit matters much more than the main jet at idle.
High-altitude operation
Use the model-specific elevation chart where available; do not guess how many jet sizes to reduce.

Use the stamped jet number together with the engine code, carburetor ID and model year. Cross-check those identifiers against the matching factory parts or service information.
What is the difference between the main and pilot jet on a Club Car Carryall 1?
The pilot circuit controls idle and very low-throttle fueling. The main jet becomes dominant as airflow, throttle opening and engine load increase.
Jet sizes can change with engine, carburetor revision, model year and altitude. This page applies to the fe290 carbureted gasoline version.
