Loss of power in ezgo workhorse st350 when motor is warm/hot. Motor needs to fully cool before I have power again.
I have adjusted valves to .004, .006, .008, .009, as well as the bottom out and then back 1/4 turn trick. No significant differences in performance at any of these lash settings. Cart still loses power after a couple mins running.
Today I removed 2 new spark plugs I installed last year and found dry, black carbon buildup so decided to look for air flow problems (again).
I removed carb hose from the air filter assembly and sure enough the motor roared and cart chugs up hills no problem even when it's hot. If I re-connect the carb hose to the filter assembly, even without the filter installed, it has no power. If I remove the air intake hose from the air filter assembly she still has no power even with filter removed. Remove the air assembly from the mix and she's happy. Wtf!?
So, I removed the air filter assembly for a close inspection and don't see any issues. W.t.f...is going on?? Runs like new with no air restriction. I'm suspecting I did something wrong when I installed carb. Would incorrect float adjustment do this?
The carb, fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel hoses, plus both spark plugs were all replaced last year. My OG problem was bad fuel and gummed up carb...
