Re: EZGO TXT low compression
I hate to see you go to a lot of trouble just to check if there is carbon build up.
I removed the exhaust manifold and looked in the port the best I remember. That was years ago and I only had one Ezgo do this. Don't break the two bolts that hold the muffler on if you do try this when you confirm the compression is indeed high. First see if they are easy to remove. May have to use a torch and heat the exhaust manifold where they go in. Do not heat the bolts which you probably already know. Heat the manifold if they do not come out easy and be careful. Check to make sure the compression is 180 before you do anything. I am thinking you gauge is showing high. I know you harbor freight one was not working. Like you I also once had a harbor freight tester. Never worked for me so I took it back. I still use the automotive one I have owned for 40 years. It works but I do need a better one myself. Problems like yours will jump out and get you. I have been there. Take your time and don't go tearing this engine down just yet. Let's see if we can figure out your problem. |

Re: EZGO TXT low compression
First let's see if that might be your problem. Let me know what a known good gauge shows when you test compression again.
