1 st elec. cart two questions

MGG123 · 08-22-2009, 09:56 PM

I just purchased an '01 ez-go pds today.. I replaced a gas powered ez-go i gave to my father..

It is in the garage charging right now and my wife walked out and could here a boiling noise, after inspection it is the batteries, is that normal? She is paranoid due to the fact a house burnt in our neighborhood a few weeks ago.

Also it has a very small leak in the rear diff. Found the manual online and learned how to check fluid level but it didnt recomend what type of fluid to use and looks like i need to replace the gasket, it looks like it has silicone or something, is that the case or does it have an actual gasket.

what oil should i be using and liquid gasketting or fiber?

Although the boiling is not good for the batteries it is the nature of the beast [Batter charger]. 30w oil will be ok. You will have to make your own silicone gasket.

If you're worried, then unplug it for the evening and charge out in the driveway tomorrow

You didn'tr say, but how old are the batteries in this cart?

They will purk. If you smell sulfur/rotten eggs, then ya have a problem.

This could be taken to so many different levels

Let's keep it straight about the cart for now, though
