Two EZ Go's having problems

[big mule]

You're welcome,just post and let us know what the compression #'s are after you get the valves adjusted.

Ok...I worked on both Ezs today and the workhorse I got the compress around 150 and I replaced the ignition coil. But it still won't go, it doesn't seem like it is getting a spark. I checked power going into (red wire) ignition coil and about the same is coming out (white wire). So not sure what to try next on that one.

Then the GXT I checked the compress on it and one side is reading around 150 and the other is reading nothing...

Thanks

There are still too many possibilities... On the workhorse.... I know you said it didnt seem like it was getting any spark? Be sure and either check spark with a spark tester or snap the plug wire on the plug and ground the electrode. This will tell you if you are sparking. If you have a spark, move on to poss. carb. problems ( fuel,air etc.). Having comp. that good is a step in the right direction. With comp. that good you should have it in no time.

On the 804 I would check valve adjust.... The 0 reading doesnt sound good but it could be a simple fix or it could mean a real prob. Get in there and take a look and get back to us...

On the workhorse I have put a plug into the wire and touched it up against the frame and nothing happened...

And on the 804 I adjusted it to see if it would change comp but it didn't do a thing different...It will be monday before I get a chance to mess with them again. So I will have more info

i'd try the igniter from the 804 on the workhorse, the 804 may have a broke rod, you can remove the plug and see if the piston will move.

im with ruredy on the workhorse. First I would make sure both wires are not sparking. Also make sure your wires are snug in the coil. The igniter is a definite possibility but I wouldn't rule out the coil or pulsar being the problem. Some R and R will narrow it down. I've had trouble with both the igniter and the coil before.

On the 804 I would do what ruredy said. Most of the time a broken connecting rod would be making some noticeable noise as the engine moves but it is poss.. If the piston is moving I would back the valve adjusters off and put air to the cylinder and see where the comp. is going. Good luck.

Ok...I checked out the problem with the 804 and discovered that the piston wasn't moving in the one cylinder. I drained the oil and found most of it in pieces. I have attempted to take apart the motor to get to the piston but have been successful yet. I would like to find an engine break down manual or something.

The workhorse is still doing the same thing. I checked the power to and from ign coil and a couple other places and it seems to be reading what the battery is putting off.
Thanks

Sub forum ez gas tech Just below the EZ GO gas header on the home page. Its a completer disassembly. Remove the motor, the head, the clutch, the timing cover, the timing belt, the timing gears, the side case cover, the caps and then the pistons. I believe thats it!!
