Keyed ignition on a EZ-GO
I was readin in the gas club car section that they can pull a wire off and then when you turn the key and step on the gas the motor will stay running until you cut the key off. I know you can buy a $50 kit that does it but is there a way to do it without buying thr kit like on the club car?

Re: Keyed ignition on a EZ-GO
There's no way to make an EZGO "idle" without changing the spring in the drive clutch.. With the stock spring, the drive clutch will be fully engaged when you bump up the idle enough to disengage the starter... I still have the BU "Clutch Tuning Kit" that I had in my TXT before I swapped engines.. It is a slightly stiffer spring for the drive clutch and a jumper for the microswitch under the floorboard.. I'll make ya a helluva deal on it, drop me a PM with a ph# and we'll discuss it..

Re: Keyed ignition on a EZ-GO
You could have it where the key switch turned the engine/start/gen on/off independent of the gas pedal but I fail to see any benefit doing that. and then there's the problem CCJohn was talking about.

The downside is the very high idle speed needed to disengage the starter part of the starter/generator.. My engine had to idle at 1300/1500 RPM so the S/G would stop cranking and start charging.. |

Re: Keyed ignition on a EZ-GO
I could see where that might be an issue, having your cart blocking traffic cause it wouldn't start would get you no end of un-wanted attention. I have my vtwin cart idle (just seems to be easier on it) but the others stock carts I don't.

Re: Keyed ignition on a EZ-GO
The main reason I want mine to idle is the stereo.( Althogh I havent had any problems since I put the gell cell in it) We ride a long way from the house and if the battery went low I could leave it running and make it back home. Last summer my wife and I had to push the cart about a mile. (Dead cart+wife pushing=Pi$$ed off Wife)

Re: Keyed ignition on a EZ-GO
When I go out riding very far I carry around a jumper pack "just in case" It'll jump off any car, truck, or cart.
