91 Marathon Gas Pedal doesnt always make it (ez)GO
I've got a 1991 ezgo marathon in pretty decent shape - only kicker is sometimes when I hit the pedal, it doesn't start the cart... I end up pushing the pedal up and down several times and then it will start - I don't believe the belt on the starter is slipping causing this - any ideas?

Take off the seat and double check that the belt is not slipping. There are several possible causes of your issue but a loose belt is one possible cause.

Does the cart do anything at all when you press the pedal, does it try and turn just not run? If it's not doing anything it could either be a microswitch or run solenoid.... Or even a loose connection.

Could also be worn starter/generator brushes

Check for loose poor connections if you find a connection that is warm that is usually a good indicator of poor connection also check the starter/generator brushes

Re: 91 Marathon Gas Pedal doesnt always make it (ez)GO
I have a 91 that I'm rebuilding now. It is doing the same thing. I am using a lawn mower battery and was wondering if it doesn't have enough cold cranking amps. I don't know what replacement battery is the correct one to use.

Loose or corroded connection could make problem come and go. and the connection will get hot. More then likely the brushes are the issue. Most of the time you can file the brushes flat, sand the armature, just clean it up, where the brushes meet it and clean the crud out of it and it works just fine! |

I just changed the brushes and that was my main problem. You can see that they were almost down to the line. They look like they still could be good enough but no.
