1983 marathon 3 wheel build

[derp]

So i got this 83 EZGO marathon 3 wheeler from my dad. He said it had been sitting for 17 or so years and said all it needed was the generator/starter rebuilt. So i traded him some work for this cart. I (hopefully) will maintain this thread and update it as the cart is built (also my friend, Noah will be helping me through this)

ill be posting more updates after i can upload pictures. Currently i have someone repairing the starter for it so hopefully that gets done in a week

Sitting for 17 years means it will need more than a starter. The entire fuel system will need to be cleaned. The carburetor will need to be taken apart, and every hole poked with a wire. Most likely a new fuel pump, and crankshaft seals too.

You should also take the spark plug out, and spray a good amount of penetrating oil in there to get the rings loosened up. Let it soak for a while before you even attempt to start it.
The voltage regulator has a double set of points in it. There's a good chance that they are corroded too.

Heres a picture with noah on it. Since then i made some progress on it. Took some body parts off, removed rubber seal/bumper things. and freed up the piston and cleaned carb.
