1982 ez go runs great than wont run at all
my 1982 ezgo gas ran great after a head gasket repair ,10 min or so than it slowly died and we had to pull the choke out to get it to run , check fuel i think we are getting fuel looks like the pump is pumping the spark was good any ideas ,the fuel line was over the starter/gen , and the whole engine seem hot, fuel vapor problem? one more question any way to make this engine quieter? any thing would help .. just to darn noisy

Re: 1982 ez go runs great than wont run at all
Are your crank seals leaking? Any moisture around the crank? If they are you may not be drawing in the required Air/Fuel mix into the combustion chamber.

Re: 1982 ez go runs great than wont run at all
does it repete this cycle or has run like crap ever since?
I would also think some vac leaks causing this, seals, gaskets, intake |

Re: 1982 ez go runs great than wont run at all
update the engine has 30 psi for compression not good at all ,took it apart and found the lower gasket to be almost gone (the one between the cylinder block and the crankcase block) no burns on the pistons or marks on the piston walls it looks pretty good shape. the rings are clear and not broken and not burnt. would this gasket cause this to loose this much compression , is it time for a top end overhaul?
thanks brad |

Re: 1982 ez go runs great than wont run at all
make sure it is getting oil. My oil system doesnt work and I have to mix the gas and oil. I am glad I noticed before I ruined engine. I have to get pics and start my own thread for that problem.

Re: 1982 ez go runs great than wont run at all
i would hone the jug, new rings/gaskets. that base gasket would not affect the compression

Re: 1982 ez go runs great than wont run at all
PM is this a two cycle engine? If so the jug base gasket would affect compresion.

as i read it i just looked at where he had the engine tore down already, so to re-ring it was the cheapest way to go. a bad base will affect the compression some what just my 2 cents |
