1994 Gas EZGO Marathon problem
We bought a 1994 Gas EZGO Marathon last year, it has a problem getting yup to speed. We have replaced the gas filter and gas lines and put a new drive belt on it and still drags the same. We can have accelorator all the way to the floor and it maybe goes 15 mpr. We also have to choke it everytime to start it. Could someone please help us determine some causes for this happening?
Thanks so much!! |

No, we don't want to go faster necessarily, we want to be able to go up a hill and not have to choke it everytime we start it. :-)

Re: 1994 Gas EZGO Marathon problem
I've had the same problem after a full rebuild .....
OK- I've done all the following to solve my plight - new spark plug - old one looked nice & tan - Burned out muffler twice on cured out hedge wood fire - replaced noisey drive clutch & belt - that helped some - replaced driven clutch that was absolutely shot - that helped more on top speed. I removed & thourghly cleaned the carb and checked over fuel system for blockage and tested fuel pump output. My drive clutch was pretty noisey - could the vibration on the crank cause the crank seal to fail - the motor only has about half a season on it. I starts very hard and requires a ton of choke to start and keep running. I put a clothes pin on the choke to keep it pulled out some. Once running it goes about 75% top speed but is a real dog out of the hole. I used to only pull the choke out 1/2" for just a few seconds of running and then it would go like hell (as much as a marathon ever could) I used to run 50:1 mix and it ran pretty good - now I've made it about 100:1 with little improvement - HELP ANY ONE??? |
