My 81 EZGO Marathon has the 2pg engine that has a power loss. The engine runs fairly well when cold but seems to lose power once it heats up and is put under load. On a slight incline the engine slows down and would eventually completely lose power over a long enough distance. I recently performed a compression test and the results were 125-130 PSI. I have been troubleshooting this for a few months with no real solution. Looking for some suggestions aside from the new parts installed (listed below). Is it normal for the 2pg engine to get, what seems like, very hot? After a 10 minute ride the engine is ticking and the exhaust will boil water. What are our thoughts on eliminating the air box and going with an open element air filter? Thank you in advance!
