Firstly hi .... ive been reading lots in the forum over the past few months trying to fix various issues with my late fathers EZGO Workhorse.
I believe its as 350 1999 4 stroke.
I apologise for the following ramble but resources are scarce in UK in regards to.golf carts and knowledgeable engineers
Ran fine for years.
Started to struggle to get up to speed or struggle to pull away. Felt like it was bogging down but would then run fine. Initially put it down to the uk changing from E5 to E10 fuel at the pumps (effected all my work chainsaws and 2 stroke equipment).
6 months ago was running well one day and was driving with my neices n nephews rather ummmm excitedly. It just bogged down and struggled to move forward.
Over the months since I've
Changed plugs. Changed coil. Changed leads. Stripped and cleaned carb (and after it got scrapped in error) replaced carb. Checked valve lash and tested with and without exhaust and adjusted govenor. Engine appears to run fine.
Driven clutch seemed to be loose. Sheaves too easy to separate. Removed clutch. Ramps worn and helix worn n scored. Spring seemed brittle. Replaced driven clutch.( 28 degreenot 36 degree as no 36 degree available to buy in UK unless £1500 or more ? ( cart was £2000 used lol)
After new clutch installed cart seemed to run... all be it not as fast for a minute.
In neutral both clutches act as should. (I believe) when running drive clutch seems to slow abd struggle to move driven clutch.
Removed drive clutch stripped and cleaned. Weights all seemed good no massive wear. Rollers moved well. With belt off drive clutch closes fully and opens. Cant find parts for my type of clutch (26952G03).
Previously cart ran jacked up bit only one wheel turned. I assumed it was some kind of differential as when pressure applied the other started to spin. I will next need to.jack again abd test is hubs have stripped but thr fact it runs sometimes makes me wonder.
Literally pulling hair out now with frustration. No-one local.who has any expert knowledge.
As it appears cart runs in neutral.
In gear it struggles to even move on slightest incline or level ground even but def gets worse over time as it heats up.
Could it be a mixture of issues or something I've done. Don't want to.buy new drive clutch as the only one that seems the same is a st480 type and in UK they are more than a new used cart. Seem to.be £1000 dollars but struggle to.find anyone who ships.
Tried both origiinal.heavy duty belt and new belt that came with clutch.
Any advice welcome. The forum.has helped me get this far.
Thanks
Sam
