Re: Engine Choke???
Is it getting colder?
NO, it's not normal for it to need to be choked all the time. |

Re: Engine Choke???
What cart do you have and what year? Choking ALL the time to keep it running is a common symptom of a plugged up or partly plugged main jet. A simple cleaning will fix it. The jet is located in the bowl bolt. Soak it in carb cleaner and use a SMALL wire to make sure the jet passageways are clear.

Re: Engine Choke???
It's a 92 EZGO gas 2 - stroke motor, can tell what brand the motor is.
Where can I find that info? |

Check the plug it may need to be cleaned or maybe a new one, but mb523 is right about cleaning the carb, every time i have something that doesn't run right or not at all i clean the carb.80% of the time its something with the carb.

Re: Engine Choke???
get a compression tester at the auto parts store (they might have a loan-a-tool program). Take the spark plug out and screw in the hose to the tester and turn the engine over a few times.
