2003 EZGO TXT losing prime
Alright guys, for some reason my golf cart started having trouble firing up awhile back. At first it just took a little more choke and a little longer to fire up and once it got going it had no problems until i let it sit overnight and then i would have the same problem on initial startup. Over the last year its gotten progressively worse. Now if i can even get it going it only runs if i use it every 30 minutes or so. I took it to a shop and they said the pump wasnt primed so they blew compressed air into the tank to force gas into the pump and fuel lines and it started working again. But again by the time i got it home and unloaded it wasnt working again. So my question is has anyone else experienced this issue and how did you correct it? BTW, the fuel pump is brand new and installed correctly, and all lines were checked for pinholes/leaks.
Thanks, Chris |

Check / clean the carb. It should be able to fire up on the fuel sitting in the float bowl. To continue running it needs the flow from the tank, through the pump- but it sounds like you have that.

Also after carb is cleaned set valves lash to .004 tight intake valves can make them start hard
