Re: Winter starting issue
sjfishon, I think it is a carb problem and needs a good cleaning. I've had the starting/flooding problem for a while so I don't think it's the gas since I've gone through more then one gas fill while this problem has existed.

As you said, hopefully someone will chip in that has the documention. Edited to add, another thing that may make a difference. The head says 350, butmy workhorse is the 800 not the 1200, so it should come with the 295 engine. I think I've read you can put the 350 head on the 295 engine, and that may be what happened here from the local dealer. That may change the proper compression. |

Re: Winter starting issue
Looking around I found this thead which talks compression and sounds a little like my cart. Though I still think mine is a carb issue.
http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/gas-e...-starting.html After reading this one I thought I'd adjust the valves again so I can do another compression check while I have the stuff to do it. If I remember right last fall when I had a starting problem I did reset the valves, and I probably didn't drive it 20 minutes after that. But it won't hurt to do it again this weekend. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/gas-e...ion-120-a.html |

Re: Winter starting issue
also,,,,,,,, just thinking,, you might have a fuel pump related prob.. take the vacuum line off, at the pump[[the one that goes to the top of the engine. make sure you take the oil fill twist cap off;;; then blow through the hose, towards the engine, this hose will plug, then you wont get a proper fuel pump pressure, hense not starting or running proper...if you have a can of compressed air, that also works well, good luck

Re: Winter starting issue
I've checked for gas flow from the fuel pump and had plenty of gas, hadn't tried it your way. With the flooding, wet plugs, and gas smell when not starting I've been thinking too much gas, which is why I felt a carb cleaning was in order.
By the way today I reset the valves again just to make sure. I was at 125 and 130 compression, now I'm getting 135 and 136. Wanted to again thank everyone for the advice. |
