84 ez mara gas pops & dies
I have a 84 EZ Mara Robin engine EC25-2PG it runs great then starts stalling, back fires, dies, backfires then sometimes takes off fine or falls flat. I have changed filter. Now it is getting worse, last time out just made it home. Any thoughts? Coil? Also can anyone tell me something about this engine? hp and such. Thanks

Re: 84 ez mara gas pops & dies
I thought about the carb, but can't get the nuts off due to engine front and no room for wrench?
Replaced plug, runs fine> falls flat> backfires> takes off> runs fine. Repeats this. I'm thinking electrical as it is seeming to load up causing the backfire. (thoughts?) Does anyone know what the primary and secondary coils are to test at for resistance? Pri= 4.9 , Sec = 12,000 which I'm thinking are both a little high. (thoughts?) |

Re: 84 ez mara gas pops & dies
First thing I would do is install new plug. Check the plug wire for good connection into the coil to the plug. Check both grounds from battery to frame and engine. Also make sure you do not have a bad connection at the ground/neg battery terminals to wire, meaning does the voltage get to the wire as it passes through the connection.. Next, check all wires for looseness or faulty connections. Some times if you have a bad wire that works then doesn't it will give backfire as the engine is still sucking fuel in but not spark, then a sudden spark but loaded fuel in muffler that fires giving a backfire. You will have bad running with that symptom also.
If you have exhausted all poss wiring issues I would start to think about the pulser being bad or dirty. Coils usually just fail but there is that variable to consider. Just few things to start your search for the problem. |

Re: 84 ez mara gas pops & dies
I would lean toward the igniter but you also may have a coil issue. Remove the coil wire cut off 3/4 inch and clean the coil then see what happens. Same thing I would say the igniter is going south.
