Slow go, backfires
My brother in law's 2001 EZGO quit on him going down the road at the ranch. He got it restarted and it had weak power (the day before it ran great) and he made it to the cabin. I watched as he put it in neutral and rev ed it up a bit. It would not rev and would boog and backfire every 5 or 6 seconds. Anyone have any ideas where he should start looking or what he needs to look for? I know he will appreciate any help. Although I have a EZGO I am not a engine kind of a guy. Thanks guys.

Re: Slow go, backfires
Change your spark plugs, should be NGK BP4ES. If that doesn't fix it, check your valve clearance. The intake valves have a habbit of wearing into the seats from dust. I set them to around 0.010 in

Re: Slow go, backfires
Replaced the spark plugs and got same results. Turned out to be some "junk" in the carburetor. Soaked carburetor cleaner and rebuilt and she runs like a champ. Compression turned out to be 130 dry and 155 wet in each cylinder.
