Thrilled First Cart Buy

casterbuster · 06-15-2009, 06:31 PM

I haven't picked it up yet, or even seen it for that matter, I know it is an older ezgo 2 stroke in running condition with no top, I am going to check it out wednesday, guy only wants $350 cash.
Should be a good price I would think.

What are some things I should look for, or be aware of?

As, I said this will be my first cart ever. I am a professional mechanic so I am mechanically inclined. The seller said it does have an exhaust leak which makes it noisy.

Should I be wary of anything else?

Howdy caster...

Any running cart is worth 350 bucks. Good luck and keep us posted.

Whoo Hoo .....First cart thread

I remember mine was 70s Melex. I cut it up and lifted it and volted it till it nearly spit molten solder out of the vents

Hope your adventure is as good

where can I get a top for it?

scottyb · 06-15-2009, 06:48 PM

Call around to all the local cart shops and see what they have out back?
Start scanning the local Craigslist .....
Somebody is bound to have something?

here it is still haven't seen it in person,

What year model do you think it is?

turkey lurkey · 06-15-2009, 08:52 PM

I'd guess early 80's. If the compression is decent, you stole it! good luck!
