1989 ezgo
i bought a 1989 ezgo that has a lift and back seat on it. nothing has been upgraded on it. i'm going to upgrade the wires to 4guage and i want to to know what else needed to be ugraded to get it to run properly. it runs now but not as fast as it should. i can't upgrade everything at once so what would be the first thing i need to upgrade. thanks.

Re: 1989 ezgo
Your on the right track, 4ga wires would be my first upgrade.
Check back after that's done and then you can consider more upgrades for speed like a 48v upgrade. |

Re: 1989 ezgo
If want it to just run properly 6 ga. is fine for stock. I ran an aftermarket GE 4 hp motor in mine for about 2.5 years with 6 ga. and stock speed control. It ran faster than any 36V cart I've rode on. The 14 year old speed controller finally died a couple of month ago. You really need the bigger gauge wire if you increase the amperage on your speed controller. I just did this past month. I upgraded the controller to 500amp, White Rodgers solenoid, and 4 gauge cables. I still run 36V (6 Trojan T-105's). You will be doubling your work if you don't get the controller and solenoid. You are disconnecting (removing) the cables anyway.

Re: 1989 ezgo
His cart is LIFTED - Yours is NOT. 4 gauge cables are a MUST for a lifted vehicle AND the first upgrade needed before anything else is added. Also, your cart is a TXT, his is a Marathon. We might as well be comparing a Yamaha to a Club Car here...

Re: 1989 ezgo
Mike, seen alot of stock carts work fine with 6 ga. You are probably right about 4 ga on a lifted cart. You seem like you live on this website by the number of your posts. Mike as a businessman in the golf cart world, it would seem to be your best interest not to belittle your clients or possible future customers intelligence on whether its a Yamaha or a Club Car in your last statement. People don't know everything. Even with your experience you are are wrong (close) on my cart being a TXT...it is actually a 95 Metalist with a TXT body. Of course the chassis hasn't changed in several years and you should know that but not everyone does. Mike I'm fairly new here with a few posts and took your remark as "SNIDE". I'm not a little kid playing golf cart and don't need to take the ridicule. If I'm wrong my apology.
