Default 85 EZGO robin engine valve adjustments

After fighting with this 2 cycle I am begining to wonder if the valves are out of adjustment if that is possible or not. I can run the cart and watch the butterfly on the carburetor and see that it is closing all the way when I let off the gas but the cart still backfires if you start to ease into the throttle again. Could this be a valve problem and if so how do I adjust the valves. Thanks

? if your engine is a 2 cycle, it does not have valves!

if you do have a 2 cycle? more then likely the carb needs to be cleaned.

Well first off, 2 stokes don't have valves so you will have a hard time adjusting them. Have you checked your compression with a gauge? You might also check your micro switch on your accelerator pedal. I had an issue on mine, the engine wouldn't run correctly and it ended up being the micro switch killing the ignition.

Is the butterfly going back by itself or is the cable pulling it back? To correct my backfire problem I turned the key off and pushed the gas peddle to the floor. With the peddle to the floor I slid the stop and the spring tight against the butterfly. This will force the butterfly closed and stop dumping fuel into the exhaust. It worked for me (good luck).
