No Power

[98 EZGO]

I have had trouble with my 98 ezgo lately with not having any power to pull it self up a hill. I have run the valves and checked spark and all fuel problems. I believe I have a good amount of blowby in the air cleaner box.

the cart is wired to stay running with the key on. I have heard that it is hard on these Robin 295's to run full throttle for long periods of time, several miles down the road, is this true?

Thinking I need to re ring the pistons and hone the cylinders.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for everyone's help!!

Had the same problem I even thought of doing new rings and pistons. But a guy I talk to said check the belt.I thought it can't be that its to easy. But I took off the seat so I could see pulleys and went u a big hill and stop ½ way up it and tried to go up it from a dead stop and shore enough the belt was slipping.

Thanks Junk Rider!! I will have to give that a try! I have pretty much done everything else and was getting stumped!

If that's not it check ur compression to see if u need new rings and pistons. I should be between 80-150psi.

You may also want to check and make sure the govenor is not stuck and not allowing the throttle to open all the way. Mine did this.

bunch of stuff you can do to restore it's power, belts stuff like that, fuel filter, etc..

put you a big block in there and you will have all the juice you could want at idle.

I will just tell the wife it needs a Big Block!!!

And if that works with the wife be sure to let me know how you did it.
