Default Ezgo 2pg engine not running

I have an 88 Ezgo with the 2pg 2 stroke engine. I bought it not running. I got it running in reverse. I sprayed starting fluid at crank seal and got it running in forward. I Installed new crank seals. I can get it to run in reverse. I checked and have consistent spark in forward and reverse. Without the breather on i have 50psi of compression in forward and 35psi of compression in reverse. I am guessing it needs reed valves and a new piston and overbore for the jug. I want to check and see if there is anything I am missing or anything else I should check before I do those things.

Yep definitely need more compression then that, I think finding new reed valves will be tough. I couldn't find them for my 85...... You might check the cost differences but if it was me I'd just get a complete top end set, Comes with new jug & slug, rings, wrist pin and bearing, head and base gaskets etc.. Good Luck

I found the reed valves at www.vintagegolfcartparts.com someone posted it on this forum. The part number is FU22-000 they call it a Reed Leaf.

Pricing the complete kit or everything but the jug and having the jug bored is about the same money maybe a little less but I would rather spend some on labor at the local machine shop.

Wow good to know the reed valve is still available as I have to work on an 88 today for a friend, I wouldn't think they're bad but I haven't dug into it yet either...... Thanks for the link I'll check it out
