What is good compression reading ?
Depends if it has automatic compression release. If it is a 2015 or newer chances are it does. 126 psi min on the older ones. 90 psi on the 2015 and up. Normally you would be told that you cant get an accurate compression reading on the ACR equipped engine and they are correct. However after diagnosing these things for a few years now, I can say I’m pretty sure that it’s safe to compression check it if it has the ACR. Leak down test is better if you can get one. No more than a 15% loss. 20% percent is pushing it. I hope this helps.
i loosened the exhaust valve pretty loose had 160 psi.. readjusted the exh valve to .005 had 50 psi….thats how i test compression on acr engine
What is the ring gap on the 401 cc Kawasaki engine
Is there a port that could feed an oil cooler on one of these ? Mine is from an EZGO golf cart.
Will this motor work on an 08 club car precedent?
I have a club car with 401 and it starts hard and acts like it’s running out of fuel all the time I’ve changed the fuel pump and plug but it has no power I just bought it and the papers say the engine only has 15 hours on new crankshaft.
Clean or replace the carburetor.
Looking for the correct piston, rings, and connecting rod, for this motor; I am rebuilding it. Any help in locating the parts is appreciated.
It only has 60 pounds of compression dry and 90 lbs of compression with a wet test I reall wonder if that’s enough and where is the compression release located
What type of fuel pump does it have.part if available
It’s a pulse pump. It uses the crankcase pressure oscillations to drive a diaphragm which in turn drives the pump. It sets directly on top of the tank. Checking for proper operation is simple. Disconnect the spark plug wire and fuel line at the carburetor and crank the engine. It should have pulse spurts of fuel. If so your good.
Hello, I want to measure the tool used to pull the clutch Ezgo400cc fj 2016 model. I want to measure the right tool for it
I want to change the clutch for a 2016 Ezgo wagon I want to measure the tool used to pull the clutch I have a 400cc fj engine
How long does it take to change the EZgo golf cart engine oil؟؟
I am usually 30 minutes on a golf cart oil change.
On a sunny day in the Mohawk Valley of New York before golf season – I drive my cart a distance at open throttle to warm the engine after storage – keep in mind I am a DIY mechanic who will usually change a truck or car oil at the same time, and the cart maintenance time is short, and clean motor oil is inexpensive.
Based on my cart’s hour meter and having 5 golfers in my family, I will change oil in April and again in mid-July, or so each season to keep it cared for.
I prop my 2012 E-Z Go cart up by backing the driver’s side rear wheel carefully up my oil change ramp normally used for my Rav4 Toyota. I use just 1 ramp and I chock the other wheels, so that they cannot move when I am under the edge of the machine.
I drain the oil from the 19MM drain plug hole and replace it with a synthetic 10w-30 oil of my choice back to the 1.3L volume specification.
I do deviate from spec and change the oil filter element with every other oil change, and I will give the warmed engine a few extra minutes to allow the slow drain of the last few drips of oil that wish to exit.
Check out the other service points up under there and lube the cables and etc., while playing with the maintenance, and I am usually good to go inside of 30 to 40 minutes, the most time taken to clean the cart and the area around it and put the tools and props away after I am done.
Have a 2006 Ezgo 1200 mpt ! Used to be Beverage cart at Golf Course where was mechanic at! Blew Crankcase Gasket-1/8 oil caked on pan below engine! Plus electric problems! Pulled it rebuilt it! runs well but some how gas getting in oil! Air filter is fine! Wonder what sucking it in ??? any Thoughts
