EZ go won't go
My 2001 gas ez go won't start, won't turn engine over, won't do anything when I turn key in and push gas. Zero noise. Zero movement. I'm old and can't remember how to test the starter to see why it doesn't engage and turn engine over? Can anyone help me? Cart is on Kauai and we don't have anyone here other than me that can fix it. I just need some direction & can do about antpything. Just ask my wife😊

Re: EZ go won't go
check fuses first, dead battery, loose or corroded connections, and the solenoid all before the starter.

Re: EZ go won't go
Just as a quick check, if yours has the gas gauge does the needle move when you hit the pedal? If yes, you at least have power to the switch. Lock the cart in neutral or put on blocks and jump across the 2 main lugs of the stater solenoid. Does it try to start? If yes then it is the activation circuit or solenoid. If you have a volt meter, put it on the 2 small lugs of the solenoid and see if you get +12 volts. If yes bad solenoid. If not, start chasing wires. And back to the top. Check the fuse next to the solenoid if no movement of the needle.

Re: EZ go won't go
Mine does not have the gas gauge on dash. It's mechanical on tank lid.
It also does not have a regular solenoid like the other carts I have owned? Not exactly sure how deal with this little guy? I have 2 Yamaha/gas machines in Utah and they have traditional looking, albeit much heavier duty, solenoids. I need a pix of what to do. Old age is not helping me out much. Thx for the help. |

Re: EZ go won't go
is it a TXT if so there is a square cover in front of the battery, remove this cover and check for 12 volts through the fuse that is in the fuse holder, these corrode easily, also on the back of the shifter there is a micro switch, these terminals rot off easily, try connecting the red with white stripe to the red that does not go to the reverse buzzer, also in the area of the micro switch is a blue or green wire with a plug in that corrodes too, I take care of 30 of these at a golf course and these are the most popular things that cause your problem.
