2009 ezgo Sport 2+2 gas throttle adjust
My 2009 ezgo Sport 2+2 (13hp Kawasaki)accelerator will turn over engine (idle) when pressed about 1/2 down. The accelerator pedal must be pushed over 3/4 of the way to get clutch to engage to move the cart. problem appears to be maybe in the pedal control box. Cables to carb appear to be good. what should I be looking for as far a linkage setup in control box? OR could it be a timing issue??

Re: 2009 ezgo Sport 2+2 gas throttle adjust
I'd like to know this too. Just picked up my 2011 and it doesn't "start" unless it's almost on the floor. So 95% of the peddle does nothing but turn the motor over. I hate it.

2010 Custom 2+2, same issue. I did notice the cable on the rear end has a fair amount of slack in it. I wonder if this is a factory setting? I have to put it nearly all the way down to get it to move.

Re: 2009 ezgo Sport 2+2 gas throttle adjust
You guys have found something amiss and if it is from the factory mine must have snuck through. one inch engages the starter and another makes her run. Mine has been this way since I bought it in fall of 09 and has not changed any.

Re: 2009 ezgo Sport 2+2 gas throttle adjust
That's how my 01 was too. The first little bit started it, and the rest made it go faster. This one is COMPLETELY opposite. All but the last inch makes the starter turn over, but it doesn't run. The last inch makes it go faster.

Re: 2009 ezgo Sport 2+2 gas throttle adjust
NOOO......... (2009 Sport 2+2) - mine was good when I got it. This has just occurred on it own recently. give it 3/4 throttle and it just idles the engine never really engages. Last 1/4 throttle it takes off at about 1/2 speed. watched the back end of cable at the spring and it does not move the throttle until last 1/4 of pedal. cable at spring has no "slop" in it.
any ideas? I am going to dismantle throttle pedal box this weekend. |

Re: 2009 ezgo Sport 2+2 gas throttle adjust
I have a 2011 ez st sport 2+2 gas with the 13 hp kawasaki. I have noticed many times, especially when run hard, that it takes more pedal to start the motor and get the clutch going. However, mine does go up to full speed. When it cools, it starts perfectly. There is a member on this site who has addressed issues on clutch tweaking for these. I am in the process of reading them and will link you to them in next post. Mine also seemed unusally fast from the showroom floor. I have not messed with it at all and it went 22 on factory tires and wheels. I've since changed them and it goes 24.

Re: 2009 ezgo Sport 2+2 gas throttle adjust
Thanks TEXAS. Mine is also the lifted 4 psgr sport model. starting cold or hot it has this issue. adjusted throttle cable months ago to up the top end some about 20 mph. Have changed tires and rims to a 10" low profile street tread.my 15 yr old son primarily drives this cart as a car, to and from school and all over town on the weekends. We are fortunate to live in a golf cart friendly city in Georgia (over 10,000 carts) . Over 100 miles of recreational paved cart paths thoughout the city.

Re: 2009 ezgo Sport 2+2 gas throttle adjust
I guess I will check both ends of the cable first. I know the aft end of the cable has very little if no slack in it. I did see in the diagrams that the throttle peadal box was riveted and under the mat. I do have more room to adjust top end but want to keep it at a semi-sane speed for Jr. Maybe he and his mini gear head buddies have been attempting to speed it up?? he is his fathers son.....
