cart jumps before it takes off
my ezgo wont just take off like my other cart, when i give it the gas it jumps and moves real slow for and 10-15 seconds then it takes off. its a 82 2 stroke, alot of times i have to put one foot on the ground and push for it to take off. also the genertor is starting to get hot by the time it takes off, i lift the seat up and see the genertor is smoking a little on the contacts of the wires.
could it be the genetor is going bad on the cart? |

Re: cart jumps before it takes off
Starter won't cause it to "jump". Sounds more like 2 problems: A clutch issue and a starter issue...

Re: cart jumps before it takes off
it has a 4inch lift with a shorter belt could that be part of the problem on the starter?

Re: cart jumps before it takes off
I've never been a fan of the shorter belt, because I've always felt that it is too tight and puts stress on the starter. You may be getting some of this aftermath now?

Re: cart jumps before it takes off
before the shorter belt it would just set there for a second then take off now with the shorter belt it like jumps for a coulpe of seconds then takes off. like the motor is spinning over to fire and the cart moves with it before it actally fires up.
when there's more then one person on it, it wont move it just crawls for a coulpe of seconds then we have to get off and push it to get it to move. |

Re: cart jumps before it takes off
Crash I think what I am hearing is that the drive belt is so tight that the starter has to roll the cart to turn the motor over? Take the drive belt off and see how it starts.... you may be cooking your starter

Re: cart jumps before it takes off
That's what I was thinking but sounds like starting issues. Even when loaded both of my carts move when I hit the pedal but then again, they fire right away and move on.
I'm thinking he has carb, compression or crank seal issues. |
