Default EZGO Timing Belt

Brand new/rookie to carting. Just bought an EZGO 2000 800G and have
been going over it. I know there is a timing belt but nobody makes any
kind of refernce to it. Should I just inspect it and make sure it is
not worn or cracked????

If it ain't broke - Don't fix it. You gotta remove the drive clutch to pull off the cover to get to the belt...

There's an inspection plug on the cover about half way down, its
not that big so you'll probably need good light to see in there
these are interference engines meaning if the belt breaks that
the valves could hit the pistons. These belt are durable but
checking it can't hurt!!!

I just had a 93 ezgo 4 cycle engine apart and the belt looked new,im sure a 2000 ezgo's timeing belt would be in good shape yet.

Theres usaully no need to even think about the timing belt, In most all cases something else will go wrong long before the belt needs replaced. I do recomend that it gets replaced when doing a rebuild, they seem to like to break within a few months if you remove them then put them back on.

Thanks for the advice, I had one break on my car and it $ me over a grand
to have it fixed. Plus in the misc. junk box that came with the cart was a brand new timing belt just bought Feb. 4, 2008. Is the drive clutch a son of a pup
to take off? Thanks again

Not hard at all, if you have the correct puller.
