G9 popping through Carb into intake box
My G9 golf cart recently lost power. It barely will pull itself around the yard and is making a popping sound. I pulled the tube off the intake box that comes from the carb and it is puffing air through it. It is not like a backfire. There is no heat or fuel smell. I just wondered if something has happended to the valves and causing the compression to push out the intake.
any ideas?? |

Re: G9 popping through Carb into intake box
Sounds like it, I would pull the rocker cover and check it out. You could do a compression test before to make sure. Cart will pop and run poor with a leak in airbox, but they don't puff air out the carb really and will idle usually. Be careful about oil and that cover, if the oil gets under shrouding and on fins it collects dirt, you don't want it to leak. Its possible the pushrod came off the rocker or something, though not real common.

Re: G9 popping through Carb into intake box
Did you check the clearance between the valve stem top and rocker and adjust if needed?

Re: G9 popping through Carb into intake box
Just pop it back off and see if it cranks, or it is some other electrical issue. It should turn over by hand and you can feel the intake/compression/exhaust stroke/etc. Bent valve usually stay open and don't seal. If they seal they can cause air to blow out the other valve as it opens/closes, air that is not supposed to be there.

Re: G9 popping through Carb into intake box
and you have tok make sure it is in the lifter. Most of the time the push rod come off is due to a sticking exhaust valve due to broke down oil.

Re: G9 popping through Carb into intake box
Well I pulled the valve cover back off and the exhaust rocker was not moving when I turned it over. I pushed down on it to free it up and it is moving now. Not sure what caused it to stick. It then cranked but sputtered some. I put new oil in it last year. You think it broke down that quick?
Since it cranked I decided to do some freshening up. I pulled the tank and removed the fuel filter. Poured out all the old gas and installed an inline filter. Took off the carb and it felt sandy down in the fuel bowl so cleaned it all out. Not sure where the sand is coming from unless its my leaky airbox which I need a new lid for. Also replaced the plug because the other one was pretty black. It seems to be running good now. I know fixing the air box will only improve that. What about eliminating the air box all together? Do most of you do that or keep the airbox assembly? Thanks for all the help. |
