89 wont start

[brpwnbeans]

have an 89 ez-go. will not start. it was running and quit on my kids. have spark and fuel 2 carb. when it was running it would sometimes pop and backfire. otherwise it runs perfect. mostly pops when u let off the gas,but it would sometimes it would do when the throttle was wide open. could it be the carb or water in the gas?

Try removing the muffler clamps and let it vent at the clamp , mine stopped up on me last week and so did my brothers the last of week before last, mine is an 89 his an 86 , his just suddenly quit mine would run, but slowly, wouldn't make
the cart move . if it cranks with the muffler unhooked ,build a fire with wood, charchol or just somthing that will burn long and hot toss the muffler into the fire and let it burn for 2 or 3 hours then use pliers to take it out to cool and put it back on .hope this helps

How's the compression? If the cart was backfiring it's possible you blew a crank seal...
