1990 EZ-GO Marathon 244cc Robin 3PG

[Mr Marathon1990]

I have the same cart , the first thing I would do is bypass the oiler, I blew up my engine 2 weeks after buying it because the **** oiler went out, complete engine rebuild. just disconnect the hose were it goes into the carg and plug off the hole were the hose mounts

I think I have a bigger problem.
After taking off the faulty hose I capped the carp intake with a cap from a can of spray paint. Surprisingly, it was a perfect fit. I did this because I didn't want to get any water in the carp while I decreased and sprayed off the engine compartment. So far so good.
I spent the whole morning detailing the engine. When I was done, I started the cart to see if everything was still alright....but I forgot to take that cap off the air intake of the carp before I did.
Gas started to gush from the front of the engine. I shut off the engine..realized my mistake..and removed the cap.
It started again but it wasn't happy about it. The clutch still grips but there is a slow leak coming from around the exhaust port...I think.

What did I do? How bad do you think the damage is?

Edit: False alarm, looks like I just flooded it. Ran it a few times and it's running pretty good and no leaks. Still have to do a compression check. I'm only getting about 10 MPH out of it but I have no idea whats the normal speed of this model.

Here she is all cleaned up.

cart looks great. check the governor for proper adjustment. you can find that info in the tech thread in the service technicians guide.
