How do I make an engine stay on

slotter · 02-25-2014, 07:07 PM

We have 2 EZ go golf carts at work, I'm unsure of the exact model I know they're both 07s. Anyways whenever you let off the gas they auto turn off and it's a pita when you just get off for a couple seconds to check something out and have to restart the engine. Is there anyway to wire up something so that it doesn't do this? Sorry if this is a well known thing I tried to search for everything I could but found nothing relevant.

There's a box under the drivers feet that has a small switch in it. You could run a switch from the dash down there to jumper it out so it would stay on. Only prob then is dealing with shifting forward/reverse gets troublesome. But I believe you would then also have to raise the idle which would then prevent shifting easily..

I just bought a 1983 Marathon that someone made a switch so the motor would idle, like you're saying. You have to turn it off, put it in gear, and then start it back up to change directions. Not sure if yours is the same or not, but I believe it's possible.

Just a side note, on that 83 don't ever try shifting into reverse or forward until the engine COMPLETELY stops. Those carts spin the motor backwards for reverse instead of using a reverse gear in the transaxle, so forcing the mottor to go from spinning one way to going the other very quickly could be harmful.

Look up ezgo idle kit. For newer carts i believe it makes the key turn it on and off and there is a spring for the clutch that allows it to be shifted at idle.

I got mine from cpp and think that's what you need.
