![]() Never have seen a gas cart motor so caked with carbon/sludge.
This example was one of ours, from a lot of 50 trucks purchased from EZ-GO corporate for a good price. Whittling down thru the inventory, I pulled this unit (Cushman hauler 1200x EFI) into shop to make-run, as the exterior features were super nice. Dash and floormat nearly perfect, body and side decals perfect, brush guard immaculate... Get it going and didn't like the sound of valve train...open valve cover and whoa...the visual shock coupled nicely to the aroma of burnt parafin, or candle wax. I'm reluctant to do a solvent flush, as I've seen cases like this where doing a solvent flush washes away carbon seals and creates a mosquito fogger, that rattles like an angry windchime. |

![]() So, you've likely got 49 more like this? I have seen car engines like this when the owner used cheap brand oils that did not contain detergents. I'll bet the crank case looks very much the same.

![]() Actually, the others have so far been typical, with this one setting the marker for atypical. Hopefully no more, but statistically now there could be more. It was a lot, mixed...some painful looking wrecks, one didn't even have engine, couple missing transaxles, and a few really choice turnkey units that only got a bath and some tire pressure. A girlfriend from long ago had her mom's Oldsmobile hand-down, a boat with a sofa for a seat, and it's 407ci. engine had worse accumulation, they just added oil, never changed it, I believe. And...it ran without smoke...except for the black kind, from mal-adjusted choke, and her overly active leg starting it.
