EZGO 1995 295cc oil leak after rebuild

scotb6058 · 09-30-2008, 08:24 PM

I messed something up. It appears to be leaking around the oil pump but could be coming from the head gasket. I failed to replace the o ring in the oil passage to the rockers and did replace the head gasket. someone said there is also

an o ring in the oil pressure switch could it have fallen out.
DESPERATE
Thanks Scott

In the side cover gasket there is a small o-ring that fits where the passage for the pressure switch is. if this o-ring is left out, it will blow the gasket and start leaking. It seems to be fairly common for people to leave the o-ring out, it's not every day you put a gasket inside a gasket. In the pic you can still see the o-ring in place.

Thanks Jon
I guess I will have another go with this.
Is this engine fairly durable or is it a problematic engine.??
Thanks again Scott

I would say very durable, if you figure they start an run 5 times a hole playing 18 holes a golf for 200 days, each year.... that's 18000 times you started it up an ran it. The carts will do this for years with virtually no maintenance other than general servicing.
The ones I have, I don't really do anything to other than change the oil. One of my carts that the wife and kids abuse/use has been run for over 3 years now and I have changed the oil in 3 times, clean plugs 1 time, checked valve adjustment once, cleaned the air filter. And thats all. It still runs great with no problems.
