88 Marathon 2 cycle troubles
Hi All! My 88 2 cycle has a couple of issues. Issue #1, engine cranks with key off or on as soon as you shift out of neutral without touching the gas pedal.
Issue #2, when cranking (key off or on) the engine never engages. The outer clutch (I think thats's what it is) is spinning but the shaft to the engine does not spin. Has a metal to metal sound...yikes! Is there a key way or a pin there? Need advice please Started never stops cranking though. Thanks! |

Re: 88 Marathon 2 cycle troubles
Yea, you've got a good one there. As far as the electrical goes, hit this page:
http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/ezgo-...iagram-id.html It will be the last post so scroll all the way down. Sounds like you have some sort of crazy short circuit so study it well and check that everything on your cart matches it. Also, here's a diagram I edited in paint so the wires are colored. I've never gotten a verification whether it's %100 but I've used that one as well. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/gas-e...iagram-me.html The drive clutch(the one right on the engine)has a taper lock and it sounds like it broke loose from it. You *might* be able to re torque the bolt in the center of it that holds it to the crankshaft but after all that grinding I'd think something is probably FUBAR by now. No key or pin though. |
