Default engine/clutch

ok guys i have a 82 ez go 2 stroke it has trouble going up hills it runs great on flat land. as soon as i start going up a hill it losses power if i stop and start again, it's good for maybe 50 feet. the engine has 95 compression and i just changed the belt.the local shop thought it was the clutch they tired to work on it but could not get it off the cart???? after 3 weeks they gave it back to me and said sell it as-is.

Sounds like the Drive-Clutch(engine-mounted) isn't down-shifting.Does it rattle alot?More than likely if its' rattling,then its' hanging up.Mine did the same thing you are describing,We have a long trail from the track out back coming back up to the house and it has a decent rise to it for a good 3-400 feet,my cart would just die,then i'd stop and take off and it was fine.With the cart parked,grab the drive-clutch and rock it back/forth see if you hear rattles in it.Also,depending on what is done to the cart(larger tires?)you may have to shim the Driven-Clutch to keep it from shifting too soon,and lugging you down.Hope this helps.

Remove the seat.Get a board(2x8 or so)put it across the opening.Carefully drive the cart in the same manner that you would when it acts up,and see what the clutches are doing.If the Driven has a weak/broken spring.it will start closing up fairly quickly.Watch to see if the Drive-clutch comes in and then doesn't release as you slow-down under load.This will help narrow-down your clutch problems.You could have someone ride on the back and watch them too,that way you aren't driving and looking down to watch them.Hope this helps.
