Vapor locking

Chapo

I have an ez go with the 24hp Honda it has factory exhaust & air filter & at full throttle when it's hot will lose power & start to back fire, I checked the valve adjustment, spark plugs, carb & fuel pump and every thing checks out, I think it's vapor locking because the air filter is sucking up hot air do to the muffler being so close to the carb . Has anyone every had this problem & what do I do to fix it? I was thinking of putting hoels in the air filer cover

I AM, would like to know too. I am going to change my fuel filter because the filter is so small and after sitting all winter I think the filter is hard and nort lettling the fuel through.

Here is another thing that I think could be it. My coil I think could be going bad. I checked it out and the two wires comming out of the coil one wire was exposed looking like it was shorting out. just maybe it?

I have done everything to my cart, new voltage reg, New selanoid, New key switch, Cleaned carb out, new spark plug, new fuel, just blows my mind.

We checked the coil it's good, today I dynomated the gas tank area, put a bigger hose around the fuel & ran it without the air filter cover and it did a lot better but still started to back fire & lose power but this time it clear up a lot faster so I think I'm on the right track, I'am thinking of getting a cold air intake, maybe you can try running it without the air filter cover, the filter is pretty tight in there won't fall out

I have a different air filter system on mine I will post pic's

Put some sort of heat shield in between the exhaust and and fuel parts and test again, I have a 18hp briggs that did the same thing, fuel pump was getting too hot from exhaust pipe. Stuck a metal deflector in there and the problem went away, worth a try fellas.........

That's a good idea I will give it a try. I drilled holes in filter cover help a lot but still does it. I'm thinking maybe the governor is making it do that.
