93 ezgo I’m assuming 36v bare cart need help

[Jhoran1124]

Hey everybody so I bought this 93 ezgo and I’m assuming it’s 36 V Electric cart and I’m trying to see if anybody can take a look at the pictures and tell me parts that I would need to get it going again it has a motor I need to test it and make sure it’s good pool day forward and reverse switch off of a 92 so any help would be greatly welcome. Also any thoughts on doing a 12 V battery conversion instead of the 6 V batteries

12v hold less amperage than 6v. There would considerably less amperage to consume in 3/12v versus 6/6v. That not a good choice.
It looks like you have an Ezgo Marathon (late) made between about 1990 and 1994. The black bracket in the middle of the batteries needs a series controller and solenoid to run. I'm assuming the potentiometer on the bracket is good and the motor is good as they usually are.
A word of advice - unless you are happy with slow and steady pace build the cart as a 48v drive system. 48v will induce the stock motor to produce 30-33% more torque and speed than 36v... believe me it needs that boost. I would get a 500 control/400 solenoid combo and 6/8v and a charger and make it work.
GL with the project.

Thanks for the reply so I’m trying to build it to sell that way I can afford a better rig for my hog hunting so don’t want to completely sup it up. Just looking to get her going and make a decent profit

I agree with the 48 volt path. You have to buy the components anyway so may as well make it more sellable.

I agree with the above suggestions also. You have to buy some new parts so you might as well buy better parts so you have a better product to sell.

Awesome thanks for the replies I’ll definitely start on the hunt for those parts! Now I have a steering question. So when I bought it (175) I pulled a steering column off a 92 and used the gear from it as well. When I bolted it on it turned right then back to center but would slip trying to turn left I pulled it apart again and put it back together but now it doesn’t steer in either direction

ScottyB at cartsunlimited.net has all the electrical parts you'll need at reasonable prices. For your steering issue, you may want to start a new thread.

Scottyb what all wires and wiring harnesses would I need? The wires that have the pins connected to the speed control? What is that called

One of the beauties of the Series drive system (this one & all early carts) is the simplicity of the control system. THere are literally just 6 or 7 wires needed to make the whole thing work. The best approach would be to strip the cart of all wires. Get a few short rolls of 16g primary automotive wire in 3 or 4 colors (this is important) and then just wire per the casic install instruction.
The Controller, solenoid, HD F&R (585L), and 13 pc cable set can all be ordered together in our drop down menu for Alltrax SR48500 control.
Email if you have specific questions

Can you email the parts I would need as a whole and you options you have
