Default Re: Is this an EZGO cart

Step on gas engine should rev up
Drive clutch on engine should squeeze shut
belt should rotate and cart move

Does the cart roll free, are the brakes stuck from sitting?

Hopefully, a good deal made better - we agreed on $1300. settling estates can be good.

Can someone point me in right direction for appropriate manuals and wiring diagrams, model B1997. I did notice some loose wires I need to check out.

Still taking any advice :)

Thanks, Rev doesn't happen- no clue why not. Will observe clutch next time.

I didn't try to roll it as recuping from a knee replacement. Should be picking up the cart in next couple of days depending on manpower to help load it on my GMC.

Sounds like a temporary problem that should correct by summer LOL

sodamo, if it is a running engine you should be in good shape. The lack of revs is probably a mechanical linkage issue. Clutch engagement won't happen without engine going up in rpms. If the engine croaks just put a honda clone motor in it.

That's my uneducated thinking at this point, guessing the engine has to rev to engage the clutch. Now to find out why it doesn't LOL. Simple corrosion someplace or other is my first thought.

I'll keep the honda clone in mind, but at this point, engine sounded OK.

Neat. I lived Ewa Beach late 70's, early 80's. If you haven't been back, WOW, really changed. I love the BI and go to Oahu only when I have to.

sounds like a good deal...You can actually visualize a clutch working on the web
if you look..most of the videos turn out to be guys from BGW..

It sometimes might actually feel like it's going in gear,
but if the cable(s) are broken, it won't be.

that's an easy fix, too..
