Cold blooded EZGO
 

2002 Ezgo, hard to start for the first time when engine is cold. Have to crank and choke for 10 -15 seconds before it will fire then have to keep feathering accelerator and choke to keep it running. While doing this it will cough/backfire.
One I get it going it runs like a champ and will start again no problem as long as the motor is warm
I have replaced sparkplugs, plug wires, all filters and adjusted valves
Any ideas??
Thanks guys

Sounds like fuel delivery.

Before you take anything apart, run some SeaFoam through it.

Yup, did that, ran both in tank and straight through the fuel lines, also cleaned the side vent in the fuel pump
Thanks!

I had the same issue and it was crud in the fuel pump

Re: Cold blooded EZGO
 

I had a couple like that, started the best if you held it to the floor with the choke out
for 10 15 secs, then bring the peddle up to idle and they would start.

I will give it a try
Thanks
