Clogged muffler causing weak engine??
I have a 1987 Marathon with the 2PG Robin engine.
I just got this cart and it runs fine once it takes off (very slow to respond when you gas it from a stop), except when under load, then just idles at best. I did some searching here and removed the muffler to see if it runs better, and it ran great with all the power I need and even spin tires when trying to push against a solid object. My question is: Would that be my issue? The muffler is very heavy and I think it is loaded up with gunk. There seems to be a lot of knowledge here, so before I spend $160, would like to get some opinions. I will just be using this for golfing. |

Take your muffler and putt it in a camp fire and you can burn the junk out of it
