Valve adjustment
I am having problems keeping the valves adjusted on my 2005 Ezgo gas with a Robins 295 engine. I can adjust the valves and within hours the cart will stop running and at least of of the valves is out of adjustment. What do I need to do to correct this issue?

Re: Valve adjustment
The valves are really soft, and are probably sinking into the head. Time for valve replacement. Below link takes you to a photo of a bad valve.

Re: Valve adjustment
Can you see if any of the four adjusting screws are sticking up higher than the others? That is usually a sign that they are in need of some help.

Re: Valve adjustment
One of the screws is lower than the other 3.

Re: Valve adjustment
Ezgo was supposed to have improved these intake valves in the MCI engine making them harder.
Taking a picture of the valve where you see the threads showing more would help us take a look if yours are starting to pull into head . |

Re: Valve adjustment
A picture would confirm, but I’m also betting on worn valves needing replacement.
Harder valves probably did improve the issues on the pre-mci but it is 16 years old now so I’m sure it’s had plenty of use over those years. Everything wears out eventually… |
