Default Re: 83 EZGO Marathon Clutch Operation

The governor cable is not connected at carburetor.
The clutches seem to be working better the more I use the cart. Would I damage anything if I sprayed WD40 on the internals of the driven clutch?

WD40 would be ok but I'd use something better like a real lube, especially since you still have the Gov/dust cap to help protect it

You would want a graphite type spray. Dry-slide, or Molylube are two things to look at. Anything oil based will gum it up.

Oooops, guess I dropped the ball on that one. I just squirt a little oil on mine once in a while, dry lube is a better idea. Thanks CA for setting me straight and the OP

I don't know how important it is on the driven clutch, but the drive clutch is very important because of the moveable weights, and pucks. In freezing climates it matters too.

That reminds me, I haven't lubed up my drive clutch in 2 years. It's the fly-weight 102c Comet type with an enclosed metal cap

Life is not going easy today. Having difficulty getting enough clearance to remove dust cover from driven clutch. Broke a bolt holding governor assembly to inner frame.

How many ramp buttons should I find in the driven clutch?

It's a good time to get rid of the governor.
