85 marathon wont run on it s own
I have an 85 gas ezgo, that I cant get to run compression is 115, spark is a blue color, carb just cleaned but waiting on fuel pump, currently has none , I have a gas bottle hanging to feed gas to carb, does the motor need the fuel pump to run or ?? also does the 85 have reeds??
thanks deron |

Re: 85 marathon wont run on it s own
Yes,They do have reeds.I would pull the float-bowl and check the main-jet.If the carb is plugged up with varnish it won't flow.Is this a new problem,cart just quit, or first attempt at getting it running and you don't know whether it ran or not before?If you are feeding the carb from a bottle,it will run as long as the bottle is above the carb,as long as the carb is good.Hope this helps.

Re: 85 marathon wont run on it s own
yea took carb apart and cleaned well, first attempt at starting cart, I bought it and it was missing the solenoid, ignitor, and regulator, replaced those, cleaned carb and noticed fuel pump was missing, Are the reeds, directly under the intake?? I actually had it running yesterday but it never would really take off and rev up enough to engage driven clutch it was blowing air out of the middle fuel pump hole, and if i plugged it with my finger it would somewhat run thanks for your help

Re: 85 marathon wont run on it s own
If you had air coming out of that port,that is your fuel-outlet to carb,unless the pump is bad.If the pump-diaphram is bad you will get a vacuum leak from the crank-case and it won't run.The reeds are under the carb-base,You may have one that is cracked or broken.

Re: 85 marathon wont run on it s own
Pachanga has nailed it. That hole you felt air from operates the fuel pump. Without a pump you will have no crankcase pressure, without crankcase pressure there will be no transferance of fuel from the crankcase to the cylinder and the engine will not run. You need to replace the fuel pump or permenantly block that orifice then you wil be able to attend to any other issues. For what it's worth the reed valve is a robust device which rarely fails, however the 2PG enginge is very intolerant of air leaks so you should make sure that all your intake manifold gaskets are tight.
