Good Afternoon,
I have had some on going issues with my cart, and I have made little progress. I have a few questions for those more experienced out there..My cart is leaking oil from the valve cover and runs horribly seemingly after it gets hot.
1) Is there only supposed to be a rubber gasket between the head and the valve cover? Or is there also supposed to be gasket material/rubber/cork gasket on the engine side as well?
2) When the engine gets up to operating temp, shortly after its ran a little, it runs terribly. I am not really even sure how to explain it, it sounds different, looses its deep tone, and seems to require a lot more effort to move. Could this be a valve clearance issue?
3) If the answer to question 2 is yes, what is the easiest way to adjust it? My model buggy the valve cover is directly behind the seat......
Here is a pic I found on google so you can see the location:
Thanks,
Matt
