01 EZGO TXT idle issue
I have a 2001 TXT with a stock motor, carb, and exhaust. I upgraded the clutch spring and switched it to key start. The cart will not carry a consistent idle... It idles up, which engages the belt, then a few seconds later it drops too low and the engine doesn't stay idling. I've tried cleaning the carb and adjusting the idle. When I get the idle to the point where it stays running and the clutch does not engage... it only lasts for a few seconds then drops too low. It kinda mimics a vacuum problem?
any help would be appreciated |

Re: 01 EZGO TXT idle issue
May sound strange but have you checked the valve clearance ? If they are a bit tight it can cause it to be erratic. You also may have too tight of a throttle cable. If you hold the throttle valve against the idle stop will it smooth out ?

Re: 01 EZGO TXT idle issue
Thank you, I will check and adjust the valve clearance tonight. I also noticed the plugs are wet, smell like gas, and almost a brown color. I am changing the from bpr5es to the 4es to see if that helps.
The motor does cough out of the carb at idle too, so the valves will probably fix the problem |

Re: 01 EZGO TXT idle issue
Or your float may not be completely closing so partially flooding at idle. May be time to clean the carb.

Re: 01 EZGO TXT idle issue
The valves are adjusted, new plugs... But still having the idle climb high then fall to low to idle :(
Cart runs great, just won't idle. When its at a slow idle it pops, almost like a miss |

Re: 01 EZGO TXT idle issue
sounds to me you have a carb issue. But I have never messed with a cart that idles except the st4x4.
