Manuals for '94 Marathon

Katshot · 08-29-2009, 04:20 PM

Looking around online, it appears I have the luck of owning the red-headed-stepchild of golf carts. I have a '94 EZ-GO Marathon electric cart. Ran fine for the last year, and all of a sudden I start hearing scrapping noise from the L/R wheel, shortly after that (yeah, I was being lazy and not digging into it immediately), the cart stopped. I looked back and noticed the L/R wheel was hanging out a little beyond the fender. I was pretty sure what was going on, and as soon as I pulled the wheel, I had my verification. The wheel bearing was gone, and the axle had slid out and disengaged from the differential. Now I'm pulling the rear apart, and cleaning/replacing whatever is bad. Thought a parts and service manual might prove helpful but, can't seem to find one anywhere.
HELP!!!!

I would call EZ-GO and get the factory manual. Ask for the parts department. That is what I did a month ago when I bought my '92 Marathon. It was about $40.00. Have the manufacturers number and the serial number available.

I must be missing something. I went to your website, and browsed the manuals. Did not find either a service manual or parts manual that claims to include a '94 electric Marathon. Like I said, it seems to be an oddball. I guess I have to go to EZ-GO. Just pisses me off that there are so many online for free but, not one for me.

I have my '92 Marathon electric factory manual in my hand it is Manual NO.25122-G1 and says for Model Years 89-96. Purchased from EZ-GO one month ago. It is a owner's operation and service manual. Not a parts manual.

Turns out EZ-GO needed to setup the manuals in their system. I got the part numbers for them on the internet but, when I type them into the EZ-GO online search engine, it returns a big, fat ZILTCH!
Talked to them and they told me the manuals would be setup in a couple hours, so I could then place my order. $34.95ea.
Thanks for the help guys.

Katshot,
I've got the same model cart and it does seem to be a bit of a step child.
Mine also happens to be the slowest one on the golf course. Hopefully I'll get that taken care of soon. That's one reason I've joined this site.

All taken care of!
Ordered the rear wheel bearing kit, and both manuals from EZ-GO.
Gotta say that their site could be better organized. None of what I needed for my '94 Marathon were easy to find on their site. Manuals and wheel bearing kits had incomplete application descriptions. In both cases, I needed to find part info off-site, and then try to have customer service verify that the parts I "thought" would apply to my cart, actually would. In all cases, they were able to confirm that the items I needed were in-stock, and would fit my cart even though the item descriptions stated otherwise.
Unfortunately, cases like this are probably losing them business.
Plus, I thought it was funny that the OEM website has inaccurate info regarding model identification. You'd think they would have the MOST accurate info on that.

Oh well, bottom line, I should have my parts today since I live in eastern PA and the parts are only coming from NJ.
