That's true, Andy. They did look alike.....But every Melex I have seen has had the ID tag on the passenger side of the floor homp saying "made in poland'

Not a melex.....Might be an ezgo front end....? Anyone?

No one has a guess? Does it look like it's wired wrong? Checked my batteries. All show 5.9 volts or 6.0 volts Got my charger to work. I've got 42.68 volts with the charger plugged in. Still only clicks at the solenoid.

Your batteries are flat. What does the pack read 30 minutes after the charger is turn off? Get an ezgo marathon wire diagram and compare to your cart until you figure out what you have.....Then start tracing out the problem.

This front end looks just like my 82. With one exception. The arm that runs from the idler arm to the drivers side hub on this cart is opposite from mine. My arm runs from the idler arm to the passenger side hub.

Ah-ha! I knew someone would recognize it.....although, I didn't know they were going to have to identify 2 carts to do it!?
He needs to jumper that solenoid with a heavy wire, right?
