Default 1978 gas ezgo battery drain

I have a 1978 gas ezgo cart and the battery will drain on me after driving for a while. I replaced the battery. Once the battery goes dead, I can put it on the charger and it will go fine once charged. However, if I go on a full charge and drive for about 30 minutes stop and go, and come back the battery is between 50-75 %. So I get maybe a good hour of driving before going dead. I have gone with the lights wire unhooked as well and it still does the same thing.
Looked over all of the wires and ground and they all are good.

Default Re: 1978 gas ezgo battery drain

I think i found the issue, there was a short in the wiring harness that connected to the starter/generator. Cut the red wires on both end of the harness and wired together and runs great now.
