I have a 99 EZGO TXT that came with a camp site that I purchased. It has a 6inch lift and 12in tires. This buggie has like zero power on hills. It does pretty well on the flats, but as soon as it starts up a hill, it just completely dies down. So far we have, changed the air filter, spark plugs, fuel filter, fuel pump, replaced the fuel lines and clamps, changed the oil and filter, installed a new carb, replaced the clutch with a high torque clutch, adjusted the governor, checked the compression (reads 150 for both cylinders). Nothing has really made a difference. It does have a slight pop when you let up off the gas. What am I missing or am I expecting something out of this buggie that it isn’t capable of doing?

Have you adjusted the valves? If not, it wouldn't hurt to check them.

EZGO Gas Golf Cart Valve Lash Adjusting
EZGO Golf Cart Valve Lash Adjustment - EZGO TXT and EZGO Marathon :ezgo: Start with a cold engine. Remove 6 valve cover bolts, and pry off cover: Clean o-ring surface(blue arrows) carefully. Do not drop dirt in any holes. Check o-ring for...
Adjusted the valves. They were all a little loose. Seems to run smoother and easier to start, but no more power. Checked the plugs and they were white, which means that it is running to lean. Put a new carb on (bought on Amazon). The gas runs out of the overflow, like the float is sticking. The instructions that came with the carb say to lower the needle clip and increase the jet size. The issue is that nowhere on this carb can we find the needle and it only has one jet size. Any suggestions?

Throw it in the trash and pony up the dough for a real carb before you destroy your engine. How many times do I have to tell people not to buy Amazon carbs because this exact scenario is what happens?
2006-2007 Club Car Precedent Starting Issue
Hello all, I have a very sporadic starting issue with a club car precedent ( Kawasaki engine ). The cart runs fine at low speeds and high speed and starts relatively well every morning - however there are times where u go to push on the pedal and it sits there in idle ( meaning generator turning...
Crank Case Full with Fuel
I just discovered that my engine is completely full with fuel after I noticed a puddle of gas on the ground. The cart was running good last time I started it and I filled the gas tank right after and didn't start it again. it's been sitting for over a week. I can't understand how an Engine not...
Get My Robin Engine to Start
I have been following several suggestions as to how to get my Robin engine to start. I tried replacing the ignition box, no joy. I looked at several u-tube guys that that changed to a GM module. I bought a new module, new old Chrysler coil and got lots of spark, but also back-firing thru the...

It is a small displacement engine turning tires that are larger than the drivetrain was designed for. Hard to tell without actually driving the golf cart if there is a problem or not, but the engine may just be at the limit. A newer cart with a larger displacement engine or ditching the lift and big tires would be the only options if so. I guess big block swap is an option too but big motor = big $$$
