| ![]() I am sort of in the market for a newer (new to me) cart. I was considering gas this time on recommendation from Scottyb. I am curious as to when and/or what years are the 2 stroke engines and 4 stroke engines or did they mix them thru time? The biggest reason is I absolutely have no luck with 2 stroke engines. I even recently bought a 4 stroke weedeater for that reason. I presently have an older electric Melex around '85 model and was going to lift and tire it. I was going to use it on the farm I just bought but the cart needs way too much work. So now I am looking and comparing. Another question. I was advised to look for a mid '90's model or newer. Can you be more specific on the year and what are the reasons/differences in the carts? One last question. What is a work horse and what is the difference with it. Sorry but I don't even know the difference in a TXT, PDS etc. I am uneducated on these and looking for advice. Thanks, Neal |

| ![]() Early 90's was the end of 2 stroke EZGO's (sometime around 1993 - 1994). Club Car never had a 2 stroke cart, but had an older 4 stroke version, called a 'flat head'. I'm not sure when Yamaha went to the 4 stroke? |

| ![]() Well Ezgo stoped producing the two stroke carts in 93 i believe, and they started with the 4 strokes in 91, so between 91, and 93 you have your mixture of 2 and 4 stroke carts. |

| ![]() LOL mike posted just before me ![]() Quote:
The TXT refered to the body style, and the PDS refered to the type of electric drive. There were 3 types of electric drive, the Series cart, the DCS, and the PDS. The DCS and the PDS were both regen carts, and both very similar in their setup, but the PDS was just a slightly improved setup over the DCS (it had a speed sensor on the motor, and controller had interchangeable regen and speed features). Yamaha stopped production of the 2 stroke g1 in 89. and were made from 79-89 surprisingly ![]() | |

So there is no major performance upgrade for the workhorse just design and frame differences. Thanks that helps alot So I see, PDS and DCS are electric and designate differences in the motors/setups. The TXT reffered to the body style and had nothing to do with elec or gas versions. Thanks. So what I am reading is; if I want a good, reliable, strong 4 stroke EZ-go I need to start looking at a '91 and newer? Is there a difference in the motors since then? ie: a '97 is same/different than an '05 in what way? Man thanks for all of you guys' help. I come to the EZ-go forum and get answers on all makes. You guys rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||
