reverse not engaging while running

gwoolsey56 · 10-03-2008, 12:24 PM

I have an ez-go with a 16 hp v-twin and the stock 94 ez-go clutch. when i try to put it in reverse it dosen't always go untill it rolls foward a couple of feet. Is this normal? Do I need to adjust the cables or is the clutch engaging at a low rpm?

What spring are you running in the clutch?

gwoolsey56 · 10-03-2008, 03:28 PM

the stock spring

And your engine actually idles low enough to change gears?

gwoolsey56 · 10-04-2008, 07:13 AM

yes, but not always.

I would get a stiffer engagement spring(higher RPMs), or a different clutch. I have an opposed and can get it to idle pretty low, barely running, and I had issues. I bought they comet 780 and works flawlessly. to bad I trashed my engine!

what sort of problem can be expected when using the stock clutch?

Well you are forcing into gear while its under load. No good can come of it.

Your belt could be a little too tight.
