Is this an EZGO cart

sodamo · 02-27-2011, 02:11 AM

Going to look at this cart in the morning.
Can anyone identify? I'm looking at it early in the morning. Will try to find a data plate.

All I know is:

Low hours gas-powered golf cart, lifted to fit large knobby tires. Needs tune up. $1500.

Suggestions what to look for?

Yes, that looks like an REZGO going by the seat backrest. Some Chinese made carts have the same backrest. The front cowl looks strange to me.

the front is a ST cowl, yeah thats an ezgo

The price is too low. I would bring a compression tester to see just how much of a 'tune up' it needs

Looks like an EZ but cant see the back. Rear of the body looks different but does look like EZ roof. EZ would be embossed an the rear of the roof if so. If it is an EZ there should be a sticker on the frame rail under the seat either across the bottom center on on the rail under the black engine access cover with the year. As for price, don't know about there but here, if it ran it would be worth $1500.

Thanks. I'm off for a look. I can't do a compression test :(
The guy said that 6 months ago it ran strong, but it has been sitting due to his Dad passing and cart hasn't been run in 6 months. Price reflects they are selling off his stuff.
I'm tempted to take a chance on it as I also thought price was on low side. I could likely resell it if it ends up being too much a challenge LOL
I'll post an update.

Ok, quick plea for help

It is an EZGO Txt
model B1997, if anybody can shed light..

Started right up BUT wouldn't go either forward or reverse
Can feel it shift when moving FnR, but no pedal response at all, like something is disconnected?

Suggestions please

TXT with an ST front cowl. There are several guys on this site who have made the same mod.
Maybe a bad or missing belt?

sodamo · 02-27-2011, 03:38 PM

OK, gonna try to bargain a bit, but wife gave her blessing LOL

Maybe a silly question, but can someone explain what to expect when you step on the pedal with the engine running? Increase rpm? Sense the belt engage somehow? If seat is flipped open should I see something move?

Sorry if these seem elementary, but they are coming from a complete lack of knowledge?
Thanks again
David
