lifted txt blowing motor.
I was told not to lift my txt twin cylinder because it would starve the motor of oil. but was also told that ez-go makes a dip stick to read right or to change the oil and put no more than a 1 qt. of oil and mark the dipstick and that is the level. looking to see if this is true or not . so I installed a 6 inch jakes with 10 inch rim I did change the oil but put in a 1 .25qt of oil

Re: lifted txt blowing motor.
I just installed the lift have not had time to run it yet.(snow cold) I left everything stock for now I'm going to adjust the governor as needed. I going to use it more at the campground some trails more just to drive around.

Re: lifted txt blowing motor.
My engine is tilted back, at the bottom of the add mark on the dipstick the oil is full properly. Half way up the "add" section is too much oil and will smoke and dump it out the PVC vent

Re: lifted txt blowing motor.
Not that this has anything to do with the ezgo engines , but when we raced flathead briggs on go karts,we used a 15 degrees motor mounts that tilted the engine forward 15 degrees and ran only 12 oz of oil, turning them 6000+ rpm with stock rods, add in the forces going thru the corners,

Re: lifted txt blowing motor.
If the front and back of cart are lifted equally, why would dip stick level be inaccurate? I can see that if one end of cart were higher than the other, the engine would tilt, and dip stick marks could be errant. But if cart is still level when lifted wouldn't engine also be level? So dipstick should still be accurate...thanks.
