Re: Would these stock parts fit convert to my 1990 marathon
Thank you very much. Does it look doable....absolutely. Can I do it on my own without ScottyBs kit....that is iffy. THis would be the difficult thing to covnert for me. I can make the bracket to mount the controller and solenoid that isnt a big deal. |

2. I suspect you are using the term "wiring harness" collectively for both control wiring (small wires to switches) and high-current cables (heavy cables). An ITS throttle type controller was never installed at the factory in a Marathon, so I doubt is a control wiring harness exists for it. Make your own and if you want to be neat, use something like this: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Gardner-B...8C10/205588197 The controller probably wont be in the same location as a factory installed one, so the high-current cables will probably have to be made to the proper lengths. ------------ FWIW: If I was going to convert a resistor cart to a controller cart and didn't have the money to do it right, I'd use a Curtis 1204 or similar controller with a 0-5K throttle input and modify the existing wiper arm throttle system with 1K resistors to make it a five speed cart. (See attached picture.) I don't remember who posted the picture, but it was posted on this forum on or about 7/6/2013 according to the original file download date. Also, it looks like the setup in the picture is for a 5k-0 throttle rather than a 0-5K throttle, but the concept is the same, just which wire goes where is different. |

Locating the pedal box in a workable location would take some doing and then fabricating a mechanical linkage would be a bear. |

Re: Would these stock parts fit convert to my 1990 marathon
the photo is correct i have that set up on the 73 ezgo
it would be easier for you to just get the controller and resistors |

Re: Would these stock parts fit convert to my 1990 marathon
So use my FNR I already have. What is the board called the solenoid is mounted to? I can add the resistors to that and use the same throttle linkage. DO I need the solenoid he has if I go the route as in the above pictures? And its just connecting cables to the controller if I get that from him..

Re: Would these stock parts fit convert to my 1990 marathon
you will need a restorer and a diode on solenoid that is mounted on your cart
his controller will not work in this set up here is front of controller Quote:

Re: Would these stock parts fit convert to my 1990 marathon
What type of controller do I need to look for to accomplish the setup you have on your 70s model cart?

I don't know how many studs are on the board in the picture I posted because of the cable blocking the view. Maybe it is from a cart with four resistor coils instead of three. |

Re: Would these stock parts fit convert to my 1990 marathon

all ezgo boards have 5 studs .. the bottom one just sits there to align it with other studs EZGO 1971-81 Foot Switch Board With Contacts EZGO 1982-93 Speed Switch Board with Contacts |
