1988 gas ezgo back-up buzzer
 

1989MARATHON, I just joined bgw and saw your remarks concerning the back-up buzzer sticking on for the 1887 ezgo cart. Does this apply to the 1988 model? Also Any possibilities of getting a PDF copy of the manual for the 1988 model? Also, what is the oil tank attached to the front panel of the seat for? Thanks for the information.

Not familiar with an 89 but if it's a 2 cycle (one spark plug) it uses a oil/gas mix, that's what the tank is for.

Thanks you guys!!! Made my life much easier.
One other question. What's the difference between a 2-cycle oil and a non-detergent oil?
Thanks again.

2 stoke oil is mixed with gasoline to lubricate the internal moving parts of the engine. DO NOT RUN WITHOUT IT !

Non-detergent oil is used in a 4 stroke engine sump where it is slung or pumped to lubricate moving parts.

And don't run a 4 stroke with non-detergent oil either. that detergent is needed to keep gunk from building up, it also helps stop foaming. No matter what your bearing clearance is, there is only a film of oil from 20 to 50 MILLIONTHS of an inch keeping you from metal to metal contact, you want that oil clean!
