1988 EZGO Wont Run
1988 EZGO with a Robin 2 cycle.
Last fall while riding it backfired a few times and then acted like it was running out of gas and eventually wouldn't run. I thought it might be a fuel filter or pump but I'm getting gas at the carb. So, I thought it might be time for a new carb or at least clean the original. I did get a new carb and cleaned the old one but I get the same response. New plug and 110-115 lbs compression. I did get it to run some but ran rich and now won't start. I am getting spark ok. Ideas what I should look at? Thanks. |

Have you checked the crank seals? Wouldn’t hurt to pull the intake manifold off too and make sure the reeds are good too.
If spark and compression are good try spraying a little gas in the spark plug hole and see if it fires off to rule out a fuel issue. But Thisnis where I’d be going with it next |

Thanks for the response. I’m guessing I have to pull the motor to do this? I have downloaded the manual so I’ll have to do some reading.

Id check the valves also. Pull the valve cover and check first to see that they are all moving, then check clearance at TDC. I like them to be between .004 and .006. Could have jumped timing or a valve could be opening or closing at the wrong time.

Yes you’ll need to remove the engine to check the crank seals, but that’s really really easy in this cart. Most commonly you’ll find the one underneath the flywheel is the one that’s bad. |

Re: 1988 EZGO Wont Run
Thanks again. I’ll see what I can do as some of this may be a bit over my head. I have down loaded the manual so I’ll do some reading while waiting for warm weather to work on it.
