Default Just Got EZ-GO Cart not sure on year?

Just picked up this running and driving cart for $650.
Runs and drives fine
Would Like to know the year. I am fairly sure it is a Marathon model from the research I have done.
The Manufactures code is D8228
So this has got be confused. I know they changed the system alot but from the research I have done the yr numbers should be together.
does this mean its an 82. Bc I dont think it is since it looks like all the other marathons carts I have seen which were 1986-94 correct me if Im wrong please.
would also like to know if my govenor has been disabled.
The cable going from the cluth lever is always slacked and touching clutch.
Cable never tightens or moves from carb linkage.
Any general service advice I need to do or check would also be great thanks

Well I dont have access to camera anytime soon or the cart.
The plate reads: Serial No. 256561 Manufactur Code. D8228

The cart is metal body four wheel two seat backs so It is I believe a marathon

Has the 244cc Fuji Engine EC25-2PG no. 81-03814
105 psi compression forward and reverse (is this within spec.?)

I would say it is a 1982. The governor cable may be disconnected at the carb. With the seat off look at the two cables mounted to the bracket. Are they still attached to the carb linkage? Depress the foot pedal and see if the both move. Also has the injector pump been removed ? You should know this because if it has you have to pre mix your gas or you'll cause serious damage to the engine. Sorry but pics really could solve a lot of unanswered questions but hope this helps. Shout out and we'll be happy to help. WELCOME TO BGW Oh is the muffler vertical? that would also indicate an early model cart.

Under the front, is there one transverse suspension spring or two in line springs?
Is the muffler vertical or horizontal?
Is the drive belt parallel to the rear axle or aligned front to rear?
Is the nose all metal or does it have a rubber front?

Hey, kinda sounds like my new rig. I'm new to carts, toos. Your model number pertains to your cup holder...sorry. I fell in the same trap. I don't know the year of my rig, but it sounds a lot like yours. Mine has been customized, body wise, so I have no serial number. Look around again for a serial/model number. I hear that is on the left sidewall of the right glove box.

Oh, by the way, I was running full tilt down the road and the vibration caused the inlet tube of the carb to come off the carb, sending gasoline everywhere. WHOOPEE! I tapped it back into the carb to get home, but need to make a better repair. It still seeps a little. Just something to watch for. Anybody else have this happen?

EZGO Marathon models (1976 to 1993)
The serial number and manufacturer's number for these EZGO golf cart models can be found on a plate located under the glove box on the passenger's side of the vehicle. The serial number is either six or seven numbers and does not indicate the model year. The manufacturer's number does reflect the model year. This series will have one letter and three or four numbers which will include two numbers indicating the last two digits of the year it was manufactured.

This is how we found out the year of ours. Sounds like yours is an 82.
