Many thank Parttime and Pachanga 90 I have been having a quick lok around the task of taking off the rear end to get a good go at the clutch etc Looks a bit of a job so I will be going back thru some old posts as you say . I didsay it is not tne best time of year but allright in the Den with the computer and the heater going Cheers

the metallic noise you hear when its running could be anything but I have never heard a 2 stroke ezgo that was completely quiet, could just be the clutch when they get old they get pretty loud and when you come to a stop you hear the clutch pop out again.

Hello Pachaga 90 Are you saying here that I should unhook the oill tan and pump assy as a precaution against it failling and convert to 2 stroke mix by adding the 2Stroke oil to the petrol .?????I can see that by bypassing the oil pump would ensure that in future the engine lubrication would be foolproof..with the modern additives etc in the oils available .it make one wonder just why they bothered to fit the oil pumps. . It is after all just something else to go wrong no mater how well thought out and designed. Many thanks once again Old Browny

Thank you Caddymanke for the input I will have to go back thru some of the posts on here to see if I can pick up some tips on removing the back half so I can get to the clutch. Cheers etc Old Browny

Definitely scrap the oil-injection.Just make sure the oil you use says 2-stroke Pre-Mix compatible.Alot of oils now are Oil-Injection only and won't mix with the fuel,causing engine damage.Hope this helps.

[caddymankc]

most ezgo 2 strokes that ive seen and worked on the oil injection worked fine, no sense in takin it out if it works.
