I'm new to golf carts. My dad & I rebuilt car engines and lawnmower engines many years ago and my 91 year old dad still likes too tinker with small engines. We have an EZ GO with a Robin EH29C engine. I finally found the “riveted on” tag with the cart model number. It was painted flat back along with everything else up there. I had to get a light to find it. Anyway, the cart is a 94 GX444 4-cycle Gas Marathon.
The engine runs but smokes a lot and the air filter is full of oil. Last weekend we dropped the whole drive assembly out so we could get to the engine. The engine has virtually no compression as I can easily turn the engine by the centrifugal clutch.
Questions:
1) It has a comet clutch, what is the best way to remove it?
2) How hard is it for a couple of people that have a fair amount of mechanical ability to do the needed repairs/rebuild?
3) Would it be better to find a decent used engine instead of rebuilding this one?
