Default What do I have? Need a repair manual

Just bought a 1988 EZGO gas and have no idea what size motor it has or where to get a repair manual.

I found this link.
http://www.bennettgolfcars.ca/parts.php
But did not see anything for 1988. It goes 84-86 and then jumps to 1989+

Can someone post a link to a manual for a 88 gasser 2 stroke?



Also,

I was told it had a Robin engine in it. Was there only one size? is it a robin 244?
Is there a repair manual for that engine?

sorry for the newb questions but search wasn't being helpful and I am a NEWB.



and.....
I have sen Marathon, txt, workhorse and a few other names.
What is mine and how do you find out? I am guessing Marathon? Is that correct? Are all 1988 gas EZGO's Marathons or were there different models?

Oh yeah.

Is there a good write up on the model I have?
Maybe like one post with a checklist of everything you should/could do?

I will be tearing into this Sunday more than likely and need a good starting point.

Yeah they came with the 244 robbins engine. I have no idea where you can find a repair manual for this manual. Your model is a marathon, marathons were made until 94. I don't think there is a write up that has an all inclusive checklist of what all you can do for these things, but if you do a search for "marathon" or "1988" there are quite a few threads with information about them.

I also have a 1988 and it's a pretty good machine, although I'm thinking about getting rid of it. I'm not real sure what all you're wanting to do with yours but here is a couple pictures of the one i built.

Here is also a link to a thread I started that told about my build:

Hopefully this helps.

not much info or manuals on those beings they're pretty old. these a few diagrams in the tech section manual/diagram thread and a few threads about them. no manuals online that I know of. some members have those manuals, you might be able to get them to tell or post what info you need. the sponsor here can get you manuals if you really need them.

Thanks for the info.
I am basically wanting to clean it up and make a dependable cart out of it.
I have no plans to lift it, race it or modify it beyond a paint job.

I just recently discovered that. Sill haven't figured out if that is a good thing or a bad thing though.






What about a detailed engine rebuild? Is there a how-to on it? I do plan on tearing into the engine

HOLY ****!
$85 for a repair manual?

If I ever get one, I will scan it in myself and create a PDF version. I can't believe there is not a PDF version online.

I really can't believe a manual is that expensive.

Well I do not plan on keeping this cart. I am going to try and get it running and get rid of it.

I will use that money to buy a newer 4 stroke


You should take the time to scan that into PDF format for everyone else in the world to use
