Question

How can I stop the choke cable from getting hot on my EZ-GO golf cart?

Community Answer

See if you have room to re-route as much of the cable as possible, so that it is farther away from the motor.

Question

How do I remove the shutoff on a foot pedal?

Community Answer

Just adjust the throttle idle screw until the engine runs but the cart does not move. Turn it in to increase the idle speed, and turn it out to slow and eventually stop the engine.

Question

How do I install a throttle scale on my 2002 E Z Go golf cart?

Community Answer

Depending on whether it has a power source to itself, if it has a personal power source, then just add duct tape or anything that will make it stay onto the 2002 EZ Go Golf Cart. And if the throttle scale doesn't, then just search it up.

Question

The motor runs, but my cart will not move. What can I do?

Community Answer

They are notorious for stripping the rear hub, as that's designed to fail instead of your transmission. Jack up the rear of the cart. In the center of the wheel, there will be a big nut with cotter pin - remove nut and pin, and check splines on hub.

Question

What should I do if the engine will only run when the choke is pulled out?

Community Answer

It's your carburetor. Anything gas powered that will run with the choke on means it isn't getting enough gas, which would indicate you have something stopped up in the jets of your carb.

Question

How do I get more power in my golf cart if it has trouble going uphill?

Community Answer

The battery cables are probably corroded. Clean or replace them. If that doesn't work, it could be a more serious problem, like the battery.

Question

How do I disable the RPM limiter?

Community Answer

Remove the brown ground wire, then remember your engine is not protected . Adjusting your governor too high can cause rear-end damage. So be mindful of the consequences.

Question

What do I do if my golf cart suddenly stops then starts after accelerating?

Community Answer

Back off the governor, it would be set to high and it is tripping the rev limiter.

Question

Do electric carts have a drive train release? Where would it be located?

Community Answer

No, they do not but they have a tow switch in most newer models. Find the year and model by searching for it online.

Inspect your primary and secondary clutches. The shaft shieves could be failing.
