EZGO Marathon Moved a few inches then nothing...

Cdygonwild · 01-25-2017, 05:59 PM

Hi, i am currently working on a restoration project of a 91 EZGO Marathon. It doesn't work but the batteries in it are good. They all come up to the proper voltage. The thing is, we have already had to replace the solenoid. Once we did, we put it in forward and stepped on the throttle. It moved a few inches but now it wont move at all. The solenoid still clicks when the throttle is pressed but no action from the motor. When it jumped, it was pretty quick so I doubt it was a motor burning out. Nothing was hot/smoking on the cart also. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Cody.

Hmm could be wiring issue, check f/r switch and the wiring on it and to the solenoid. These cars are generally low maintenance so it should not be anything major. Take a good look at the potentiometer too, there could be an issue there
