On gasoline versions of the Club Car Tempo golf cart, the fuel pump is typically at the fuel tank on later EFI versions; older carbureted versions typically use an impulse pump in the under-seat engine compartment.

Where is the Tempo fuel pump?
Typical location: at the fuel tank on later EFI versions; older carbureted versions typically use an impulse pump in the under-seat engine compartment.
Before ordering: Club Car reused several model names across engine generations, so verify the serial/model year before buying a pump.
How to replace the Club Car Tempo fuel pump
Tempo fuel pump specs and hose layout
Fuel system: EFI on later gasoline versions; some older versions of the same family used carbureted/pulse-pump systems.
Fuel-line layout: EFI: pressurized supply and electrical pump circuit. Carbureted: tank supply, carburetor outlet and engine impulse line.
Pressure: EFI pressure is engine-specific; current Kohler EFI applications use a high-pressure electric pump, while older carbureted versions are low-pressure.
Check these before buying a fuel pump
Identify the system: Do not order a pump by model name alone when the same model spans carbureted and EFI years.
Carbureted versions: Check the pulse hose, filter, tank vent and suction hose before replacing the diaphragm pump.
EFI versions: Check fuse/relay, pump voltage and ground, filter/strainer and measured fuel pressure before replacing the electric pump.
Fuel hoses / lines: Inspect for damage, restriction, air leaks and previous repairs.
Tank vent: A blocked vent can cause fuel starvation on either system.
Tempo quick check: Identify EFI versus carbureted hardware before testing or ordering parts, because the two systems use different pumps and diagnostics.
Tempo fuel pump troubleshooting
Cranks but will not start
Identify the fuel system, then test pulse/fuel flow on carbureted versions or pump power/pressure on EFI versions.
Starts then dies
Check the tank vent and filter first, then test the system-specific pump input and output.
Weak under load
Low EFI pressure, a weak diaphragm pump, a leaking pulse hose or a restricted filter can all cause load-related starvation.
Fuel leaking
Stop running the vehicle and repair the leaking hose, fitting, pump/module seal or tank connection.
Club Car Tempo fuel pump FAQ
Where is the fuel pump on a Club Car Tempo?
On gasoline versions, the fuel pump is typically at the fuel tank on later EFI versions; older carbureted versions typically use an impulse pump in the under-seat engine compartment. Club Car reused several model names across engine generations, so verify the serial/model year before buying a pump.
How do you replace the Club Car Tempo fuel pump?
First identify the model year and fuel system. EFI versions use an electric tank-area pump/module; older carbureted versions use a low-pressure diaphragm pump with inlet, outlet and pulse connections.
Does every Club Car Tempo use the same fuel pump?
No. This model family spans more than one fuel-system generation, so the correct pump depends on model year, engine and whether the vehicle is EFI or carbureted.
How can I tell whether my Club Car Tempo is EFI or carbureted?
Look for an injector/throttle-body EFI system and an electric pump connector at the tank on EFI versions. Carbureted versions use a carburetor and typically a three-line pulse/diaphragm pump.
What fuel pressure should the Club Car Tempo have?
EFI pressure is engine-specific; current Kohler EFI applications use a high-pressure electric pump, while older carbureted versions are low-pressure. Confirm the exact model year before testing because carbureted and EFI versions use very different fuel-pressure ranges.
What should I test before replacing the Club Car Tempo fuel pump?
On a carbureted version, inspect the pulse hose, filter, tank vent and pump output. On an EFI version, check fuse/relay, voltage, ground, filter/strainer and measured fuel pressure.
Fuel-system design, pump type, location and specifications can vary by model year, engine and configuration. Before ordering parts or servicing the fuel system, verify the details against the official owner, operator or service manual for your exact vehicle.
