OK I went to the dark side. Bought 4 4 strokes but in my defense I also bought 3 2 strokes lol.
I've got a 98 yamaha golf cart 1 cylinder 4t. Hasn't run in 6 years. Started and filled garage with smoke. Pumped tank dry and put in fresh gas and new fuel filter. Pulled the air filter top to check for mice stuff and there was a lot of Gass and oil there. Left it open hit the starter and it busted off and ran fine. About 10 seconds later it starts flooding the air box with oil from a hose coming from the rocker cover. The oil is clean. My guess is I need to pull the cover and make sure the drain back holes for the oil are open. Thoughts?

Check the oil level in the engine.
You will be punished for your transgressions

I bought one a few years back cheap that smoked badly,rings and intake valve worn slam out!The airfilter was installed incorrectly and it was sucking sand on the dirt roads at the marina where it lived..Bought genuine Yamaha rings,headgasket and intake valve,runs great now..Its now used for pilots to shuttle from the shop to the terminal to get coffee while waiting for me to fix their aircraft...

is it lifted? if so then do NOT go by the oil level mark on the dipstick. if you do it will be way overfilled an cause oil blowby. an thats because if it has a lift kit the motor is now tilted an not level like it was when stock. i know a lot about carts since i also rebuild those little moneypits LOL

It's all stock. Dad bought it a long time ago. I think it's a 98. Probably got it in 03 when he retired. I thought he quitusing it because the carb gummed up and offered to clean it for him and he told me it wasn't wroth the effort. My brother told me that it would start running like crap and almost left him stranded a few times. I think there is a chunk of something bouncing around restricting the oil drain back. Got to pull the cover and check it out. Need it to use as a chase car for the wife when the kids are on the quad and mini bikes I got such a great deal on. 2 bikes and a quad for 225. Took me about 3 hours to get them all fixed and running. Then 450 on helmets and such to make the kids safe. That great deal got real expensive lol. The 2t's I got were 2 jetski and a snowmobile. 91 seedoo xp, 96 kawasaki sts,and a 96 ski-doo grand touring 670 lc. I'm in them for 1500,had to buy 2 batteries, 1 lanyard and am building a trailer for the skies. I've gotten a lot done in the last few weeks.
