Default 1988 ezgo gas starving for gas

I have done everything I know to do and replaced all parts for the fuel and electrical and it still will only run for a few seconds and then with the choke on.

Did you do a compression and/or leakdown test?

Your piston is most likely in backwards.

Remove the exhaust pipe. Look up inside while moving the piston by hand. If you see a square port in the side of the piston through the exhaust, it's in backwards.

I will check the piston and see if it is in backwards. If it is I am the one who did the rebuild.

I thought we were waiting for the piston in backwards possibility? Not the carb removal yet
