Default Old Gas EZ Go timing

I have an "87" EZ Go with a Robin 2 cycle engine.
When U let off from speed coast a bit then step on it again it back fires
I am guessing the timing is off a bit
Can anyone tell me how to set it?
Thanks

Make sure the carb throttle plate is closed ALL THE WAY when you let off of the pedal. Right now it is open a little and letting the motor suck fuel when the spark is off.

I just replaced the butterfly and made sure it closed all the way
It still backfires.
I had a small engine mechanic tell me a long time ago that the only thing that would make a 2 cycle backfire was timing??????????
That is why I thought the timing was off???????
Just don't know the method to set it.

What difference does it make what size he was?






BAWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!


Actually, your description of the problem is dead nuts what happens when the throttle is open even just a little.
If the throttle plate was open just a bit and the motor spins with no fire it would still draw fuel into the case and cylinder and then backfire when you push the pedal and add spark.
Not sure about the timing. Mitch
