Re: EZGO valve timer
What motor or year is the cart? I know there was a really good post in the tech thread at the top of the page that had some good simple suggestions.

Re: EZGO valve timer
This is a post by "ezgotxtman" maybe it will help. re: EZGO 295 - 350 engine Valve Adjustment
Milo, I just taken a old pair of Slip Joint Pliers, taken them apart and used a hacksaw to cut a grove the length wise, and used a file to make the grove wider. This way I could have a tool that would hold the adjuster tip better. BTW. I never (from the old school) adjust the values with the engine cold. I adjust them with a "hot" engine. I set the gauge at .004 and made the adjustments. I get a better more accurate .004. You must have .004 when the engine is running at it's peak performance, and performance always with a hot engine.. Make sence... don't you think? |

Bonecracker,
maybe didn't make clear what I was looking at, it was a tool to hold the cam wheels in position while fitting a new belt. Cart is 1999 295cc. rockinr382 |

Re: EZGO valve timer
Agree with the no need for a tool to align the pulleys while installing the belt ??? I have taken a few belts back off and moved a gear one tooth and reinstalled the belt a time or two to get it right but if that's saving $300, it is well worth it...lol
On the subject of hot valve adjustment vs cold valve adjustment .... follow the manual for your specific motor. If the spec is given 'cold' then the manufacture has given a measurement of space which he knows exactly how much it will decrease when the parts expand under operating temperatures. If you use the 'cold' setting for a running engine you will end up with an excessive gap. This will cause excessive wear of the tappet and the valve end over time. The ezgo manual gives only .004 cold as valve adjustment spec. |
