Talking Need gear ratio for Electric 87 EZGO Marathon

I am new to this site and was hoping for some help. I am in the process of converting my 1987 EZGO Marathon from 36v to gas. Can anyone tell me what gear ratio my cart has? Tks! Bill

Might be some info in this thread: http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...ear-end-2.html

'87 might be a one off year in this regard.

12.44 to 1 is a really safe bet.

According to the service manual for 86.5-87 Marathons with the split case differential, that I posted in the thread kernal linked to, it is 12.55:1
