89 ez-go marathon
I have a 89 ez-go marathon 3pg motor ,when I got this cart the engine was in was in 3 boxes . Im having problems with the timing I put new crank,piston,jugg,seals,bearings. The manual states to run engine at 1500 rpm in forward and check with timing light, timing should be +- 3deg. Im showing like 80 deg but if I check timing in reverse it shows about 5 deg ,the manual also states if timing is correct in forward it should be correct in reverse also. Im looking for a reed cage also mine is wore out you can see light through it thanks.

Re: 89 ez-go marathon
There should be a line on the pulsar mounting ring. The line should line up with the center of the mounting screw.
What is the issue you are having with the motor? |

Re: 89 ez-go marathon
Like the manual says, if the timing if correct in forward, it will be correct in reverse. Does the motor run well?
