Default 83 marathon

I was given a golf cart and im trying to identify it. S# 284322 M.C. D0983. I think its an 1983 marathon. but I havnt found any like mine with a gas motor, do they come with a gas motor? 4 or 2 stroke?
thx to this site i have been able to get this far. this one has been striped of parts and left in a field to rot. i also got a 91 yamaha G9 thats 80% compleat. it was electric but the motor wont turn over and the rear end seams to be locked up too. iwas told the ez go motor ran but may need a carb rebuild. my plan is to put the gas motor in the yamaha and the rear end.

you should just get some tires, a gas tank, and a few parts and that thing will be driving down the road

Wait, did you just hook random wires to random spots?Anyhow, there's a great wiring schematic on here.



Your's looks pretty close to mine, at least the engine, so I think you'd be able to use this.I rewired my 88 with this diagram and it worked great.

lol no they were labed and just mached them up, most of the wires were on the starter or fwd/rev switch. i just pulled the motor and found a green wire on the starter labled DF but its only a 1/4 inch long so idont know were it goes. and that could be the problem
