Default Re: 2004 EZGO TXT Starting Problem

Well looks like it was the valves. I went through the carb again, float was good. One of the intake valve rockers was pretty tight on the cam. They were all off a little. I didn't have a feeler gauge so I just tightened the adjuster screws down, then backed it off about 1/4-1/2 turn.
It started up and backfired a couple of times and blew out some black smoke. After running it for a few minutes it seems fine. I'm going to adjust the valves again when I get a gauge.
Hope this update helps someone.

By the way I also adjusted the governor screw down on the carb after reading somewhere you can get a little more speed. It seems to have a little more bottom end now. But that doesn't really matter the **** thing runs again.
