1994 EZGO Problem "Slipping"

Tigerragg · 06-20-2008, 03:14 PM

I just purchased a 1994 cart and charged it up. When I depress the pedal it starts to move then just stops and starts to vibrate like something is slipping. It sounds like the motor is running but not turning the drive?

Could be a few different things.

1. Axle hubs are stripped. Common on ezgo's
2. Splined coupling on motor is stripped.
3. Differential is broken.

I would check to see if the axle nut is spinning when it does what you describe. If its not the axle nut then you will have to pull the motor and check the motor coupling.

Absolutely, and the #1 problem for the symptoms he described. Get a multimeter on those batts and see whats going on.

Thanks for the advise. I will start with the batteries and work from there.
