Default 79 Gas EZGO runs but won't move

Hi everyone
I'm trying to get a 1979 gas ezgo running. Everything's great, starts, engine runs... but it won't move forward or backward. There is a long cable that looks like it came out of the engine, but I don't have any idea what that is. Do you have any insight on this? Thanks for any info you can give me. I don't have a manual for it, so I'm kinda stuck.

Welcome to BGW


Sounds like you could have a striped brake hub/drum, you need someone to help you check it, someone in the cart with foot on the brake, crank the motor, put it in gear, and push the gas JUST A LITTLE. and the other person needs to see if the castle nut in the middle of the rear wheels, that holds the brake hub on is spinning and the cart is not moving

Right Rib and also it may just be cranking, the long cable is a question/

Nv is it revving up or just spinning slow?

The cable comes off the back of the accelerator linkage, and that cable is broken. The nut is not moving by the way. The belt on the drive train is not moving.

When you press on the pedal does the link on the top of the carburetor move? If so the broken cable is the governor and you can forget that for now.

If the belt is not turning it sounds like the engine is cranking but not actually firing. Does the engine run faster the harder you press the pedal? I suspect not.

Can you post some pictures maybe a video?
