1988 Gas EZGO Compression / firing issues
how much compression am I supposed to have on my 88 Robbins engine? engine quit running, as in not firing anymore. everything works but will not fire. I have replaced fuel pump, carburetor fuel lines. has great spark but will not fire. it has fired momentarily but that's all. have pulled off fuel line to the carb, to check flow. has flow but now sure how much is sufficient. PLEASE HELP.
Reading forums, looks like maybe crankshaft seals are worn. so just want feedback on what else it may be. thanks in advance. |

Compression should be at least 100lbs, 120lbs is factory.

Re: 1988 Gas EZGO Compression / firing issues
This is the link to the 88 manual. https://www.buggiesgonewild.com/show...=105501&page=3
120 psi is a new engine. 100 is acceptable for compression. Fuel should come out of the fuel line in a good healthy spurt. Try a little starting fluid. See if it tries. If not, I would lean towards seals. |
