Handy-Man Corner

I'm tired of bad Chiefs news.....


I thought it would be a good idea for a thread on the Handy-Man.

Do you have any Home remedies, gadgets you've made, advice on car repair, home maint, sollutions to kill weeds in your yard, bugs in your garden?

Use Coke to clean your batteries? That type of stuff.
Home made floor dry?

Sounds like a bad ignition switch completing the circuit, the electrical charge is jumping the contact.

Does sound like the switch to me too, unless it won't shut off because it wants a new contract or to be traded before training camp.

To much advance in timing will cause that. It's running to hot and continues to combust for a few seconds.

First and foremost, does it continue idling as if the key were still in the on position, or does it slowly chuff itself to sleep? If it's the former, your ignition module, specifically the kill switch, may have a short or disconnect.

If it's the latter, yeah, either pre-ignition or dieseling. The former [pre-ignition] concerns your timing or distributor points. The latter [dieseling] concerns either spark plug gap, or a buildup in the combustion chamber that heats up and acts as a diesel 'glow plug,' igniting the fuel through heat instead of electrical arc.

After the post run-on ignition off, and a period of cooling, is it difficult to start cold? If so that would be the strongest suggestion that your spark plugs are incorrectly gapped for the particular engine.

Depending on funds, I'd start with plugs by either [cheaply] taking the the ignition end to the wire wheel [mind the ceramic] and then gap them to specs, or [$baller$] new spec-ed plugs and wires.

In conjunction with, or immediately following, step one check out the vacuum connections. It could be that your vacuum advance is sticking open.

If that does nothing, track down a repair [not owners] manual and check the specs on the distributor.

Failing that, then you might have to pull the head and clean up the chambers. Don't know how pricey that is for a motor of that size/application, but expect at least a new head gasket, and at least use if not outright purchase of a torque wrench to re-install the head to the block within specs.

If you can easily track down a repair manual, or even better a specialized EZGO enthusiast forum, you may come across some solutions/communal wisdom that saves you a lot of trouble in the long run.

If none of this helps, the more specifics you can provide, the more help can be offered. This includes both model info [motor size, type, year, manufacturer, etc.] and symptom info [power lag, difficult starts, battery buildup, charging problems, fluid leakage, etc.]

When I hit the brake and turn off the key it keeps "chuffing" as you say, similar to the first time I try to start it before I choke it to get it started. It's not running per se, it acts like it's trying to start and then eventually quits after a minute or two.

It is definitely starting a little harder cold and requires the choke to start.

It sounds like maybe it's as simple as trying spark plugs? I'll start with that and clean the connections I can and see what happens for starters.

Thanks BL.

I was working on a huge construction site years ago and was leaving the job. Framers had one of those laying across the road. Drove on out and noticed people looking and finally one pointed to back of truck. That pretty little loop jumped onto the trailer hitch and it was trashed.

I doubt anybody knows anything about this, but anyway,

I just bought an under sink water filter. It's a whirlpool, with 3 filters on it. Got it all installed and turned on the little faucet that came with it, and the water just trickles out. I have good pressure going into the filters, but next to nothing coming out. Of course the help line is m-f until 6, so I will have to wait until monday to call them.

the good news is, my water doesn't taste like dirt anymore. The bad news is it takes 3 minutes to fill a glass.

any experiences with this?

No experience but I would start with re-reading the directions, then take it back apart and see if you missed anything? Sounds like something is backward.

I have a GE that does the same thing. It came with the house so I've never taken the time to **** with it.

Interested in knowing what you find out.
