New guy with 81 CC

justbrew77 · 09-04-2008, 08:34 AM

I just picked up 81 Electric CC, it runs pretty good, the batteries don't hold a charge for very well but i think they are about 6 years old. it is in really good shape and I was pretty happy with the buy, I ended up paying the guy $200 for it. I think that was a pretty good deal. Are there any problems that are common on the the 81's I should know about? What is a good cheaper battery, this is going to start off as a budget build. can I get a lift kit for this year? sorry from rambling I just have a ton of questions.

if you want a chep battery samsclub sells them for about $65 a piece and there are several lift kits out there but $200 is a pretty good steal

You stated:

If your cart has 3 pedals, the cart is called a Caroche, unlike the newer DS and Precedent models which have 2 pedals.

The master cylinder usually goes bad on these at some point but can be replaced.

(If your cart has the 2 pedals, you wont have a master cylinder.)

Old batteries and old cables will always cause problems on any cart.
