Rebuilding older electric EZ-GO
I have a old EZ-Go electric cart that I am rebuilding and I need to find out some info.. I am trying to figure out wiring and where I can find parts. The body is in good shape and frame but there is no wiring. Basically I want to build this into a good all around cart. The serial tag I found on it reads EZ-GO Textron serial number is 80F7 202913.. I have no idea what year it is to even begin. Any help is greatly appreciated. I am redoing everything so if you have parts or if you know where I can find them would be awesome. I am a newbie to the golf cart world but have been rebuilding cars and trucks for years so the work doesn't bother me if I can get pointers.

One you figure out what year it is you can find the manual and you are off to the races. |

Re: Rebuilding older electric EZ-GO
Hardheaded.......you said there is no wiring.....is there a controller? do you know if it is any good? it seems like what you really have is a good body, frame, suspension.....why don't you up grade everything ...... even if you want to keep it at stock performance, put all new 2001 and UP electronics....use the wiring diagram for that year.....and find parts will be very easy for many years to come.
oh and btw......CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to BGW. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wive's, husbands, girlfirends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy. oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here. Welcome!! |

Re: Rebuilding older electric EZ-GO
Thanks for the welcoming.. To sir nuke you are correct there is absolutely no electronics at all besides the motor. Would that be possible to go ahead and upgrade to newer electronics? I am still learning all these electronics but as long as I can get input I am sure it can be figured out.. But if that's the better and more convent way then I will do that. So where would I start as far as buying parts and stuff?
And to kellybell I am not looking for all original. I am going to use this around the farm. Hunting and going camping. So I am up for anything to make this thing work and be dependable... That's all I want.. |

Re: Rebuilding older electric EZ-GO
First step is gonna be to test that motor to see if it runs. Search on this site for "test run a series motor" and you'll find a post with how to do it, it's really simple. You could take it to the local rebuilder and have him check it out and clean it up, at the very least put in some new brushes if the current ones are worn. This will be the most cost effective.
Next step is gonna be to realize that since you've got just a motor, you're gonna be way ahead to go with upgraded electronics and build your own drive system, and that this is gonna cost a little money. For your described wants I would definitely go 48 volts, that alone when run on your current 36 volt motor will give you a 33% increase in speed and torque over stock. Then I'd get a controller with enough amperage to get those bigger tires really rolling when you come up against a hill, probably 500 amp. You'll have to have a HD solenoid and F/R switch, as well as running all the amperage delivery (main) cables in 2ga. You'll also have to have a potentiometer to hook up to the throttle for your controller to work, the Curtis PB-6 is the industry standard. Contact Scottyb at cartsunlimited.net (he's a site sponsor and cart genius) and tell him just what you posted about your wants and build goals, and he'll tell you what you need (the stuff I mentioned above most likely, but if he recommends something different then definitely go with his advice) and be able to hook you up with it. |
