1980 ezgo backfiring
I have 1980 2 cycle when u let off the gas and press it again it will backfire any ideas why
I was reading maybe muffler is plugged up and I painted the exhaust pipe with heat paint. ( good up to 1200°) When running the cart it is burning the paint off the pipe. Any help would be good |

Re: 1980 ezgo backfiring
Make sure the throttle plate is closing all the way when the pedal is released. You will have to be able to see the plate to make sure. It is a very common issue.

Re: 1980 ezgo backfiring
It seems to get worst the hotter the motor gets and the power doesn't seem to be the same as when I first got the cart

Re: 1980 ezgo backfiring
Are you sure the muffler isn't partially plugged.
