Got a 2006 Club Car XRT 1550 with a 23 hp Kawasaki model FH680D, Club Car rates it as 20.9 hp. I've had it several years and it's never run great. I finally decided to work on it over the holidays. I took the carb apart and noticed a pinched gasket under the needle/float assembly. Ordered new gaskets and seals, reassembled and it runs a tiny bit better but still on one cylinder. The coils looked to be producing a weak spark. Ordered 2 new coils, installed and still the same.
I have adjusted the valves to 0.005 on each. The coils have 0.012 clearance. New plugs. I checked compression today and have 95 lbs on #1 cyl, 155 lbs on cyl #2. BUT, cyl #2 is the one not producing. Kawasaki calls for 52 lbs minimum. I can pull the plug wire off #1 and it dies. I can pull plug wire on #2 and no difference. Both have a blue spark, both rockers on each cylinder are moving. I've also run it with the kill wires disconnected.
I'm stumped! This is the same engine as the John Deere 737 zero turn.
