2007 Ez-go TxT Gas GoffCart Trouble Pulling Hills
Yes I have an Ez-go Txt gas golf cart that is giving me some issues going up hills. It runs great and plenty of power on level ground but when pulling up hills it’s like it has lost it pulling power. If I haul any passengers it will not climb a hill but in the level it does ok. I also wondered I see my belt on my clutches is loose is this how it’s suppose to be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am guessing your driven clutch has failed. Had the same issue, replaced the driven clutch and Ll good. They are rebuildable.

Loose belt on the clutch is normal. How wide is your belt or where does it sit on the rear driven clutch when the cart is off? The belt should rear even with or slightly above the edges of the clutch.
A 28 degree driven clutch is a nice upgrade for torque |

Re: 2007 Ez-go TxT Gas GoffCart Trouble Pulling Hills
I’m not sure the belt size but it’s a heavy dust belt for my model also on the back clutch my belt rides inside at 1/4 to an 1/8 from the top. Also I was reading online it says I should have enough room behind the back pulley to were it slides next to transmission for a finger to slide by but there isn’t enough room for that. Also one day awhile back I was changing from drive to reverse and I kinda didn’t wait for my engine to stop and heard a pop not sure if that helps but I’m not sure what to fix. But other then that it runs great just not up hills. Thanks for your help.

Also I forgot to mention if I was to have a passenger ride with me up a hill it makes a squalling noise like the pulley is slipping around the belt. But if they get off it will gradually pick back up and go on. I’m about 275lbs. and if my two girls get on and they both don’t weigh around 110 prob it will not pull hills but does ok on level ground.

Re: 2007 Ez-go TxT Gas GoffCart Trouble Pulling Hills
LI is a typo for "all"...meant to say all good.
I think you said you bought a new belt? It sounds like maybe you have the wrong belt on. Sitting still, it ought to be loose on the front clutch, and even with the outer edge of the rear clutch. If it is below that, the belt is too narrow, either old and worn out, or the wrong belt. As for not running up hill, like I said before...get you a new driven clutch (rear clutch) or rebuilt it if you are mechanically inclined. There are youtube videos that walk you through it all. |

Re: 2007 Ez-go TxT Gas GoffCart Trouble Pulling Hills
Yes in park it rides inside the clutch about a 1/4 inch of clutch is visible on the outer edge when in park the belt rides inside the clutch I’ll post a picture. Then I’m not sure which clutch to buy and we’re to get it from. I also like to know we’re to purchase the grunt clutch because I haven’seen any like the one I have. Also I’m not sure what engine is in my golf cart almost every website ask what type of engine and a half and I don’t know.
