It is most likely related to the rings, but running it would unstick them very fast if they were stuck. It's possible that sitting let rust develop in the cylinder walls and there may be some grooves in them now. They could also just be really worn cylinders. They make some oil conditioners which I wouldn't recommend on a car, but might work fine on a golf cart. I can't recall the name, but it was in a silver can, maybe called engine restore... You could always try that before resorting to a rebuild.
Testimonial: "thanks for your advice. I will try an additive before a rebuild."

It is a YZ80D 1977...first link below is a Yamaha VIN cross reference if you want to verify. (a lot of scrolling)
As your VIN is only 9 digits, this indicates a pre 1982, when a universal 13 digit VIN was adopted, then soon after our current 17 digit VIN.
(please note: I'm assuming the VIN is from the plate on frame and not the crankcase serial number as engines are easily swapped)
Second link appeared amongst a search and indicates a 1992 model. This may be the basis of the problem your encountering.
Third link is a Yamaha decoder I've used successfully (17#) try it or check the Yamaha Corp. link therein.
Cheers.

Very important... valves get out of adjustment and are easy to set. This is where I would start FOR SURE. Check out www.buggiesgonewild.com and an example of how to do it on EZ GO 295 http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/ezgo-gas-tech/1196-ezgo-295-350-engine-valve-adjustment.html

Hello
The serial number of the Golf cart does no good to ID it. I need the model number and the displacement of the engine as well as the number of cylinders and what year it was produced..
