Got myself a rebuild project. It appears to be a 1979 EZGO.
I have two questions/problems..

I can not find a manual anywhere that I can beg, steal, buy or borrow, Anybody here have any ideas where I might find one?

Second problem is when I rotate the sheave for the rear end it rotates almost 2 full revolutions before it 'engages' the axles. Is this by design?

Anything close, I don't know about EZGO (I'm a newbie to carts) but perhaps a year or two older or newer may have some parts/procedures that were the same.

Thx Scotty

I have. That is what led me here. I did find a site, I think it was Vintage, had a some manuals and I thought I was close, it listed 1979 GSX, I think it was a three wheeler or a work horse. Anyways, I don't mind buying a manual, but it was $59.99 and couldn't be sure it would cover my model.

You got a hint on a good place to look?

Thx Scotty

Scotty...According to the ratio..It may be possible to rotate 2 revs on the input before you see much movement...

There again..considering it is a '79...It could have a lot of backlash in the gear train...

According to the ratio?

I can't imagine how.

Unless it's a 'loss motion' to somehow allow the engine to wind up during starting.

Can someone with a 2 cycle, reversible engine, lift their seat, and tug on the sheave both ways and see what they get?

fubar....You're right about the availability of Free manuals for your cart. The cheapest I found was from Golf Car catalog for $49.95

Scotty,

Does your cart have the internal starter/generator (F&R cables go into the engine)?
If this is what you have I have an original manual that I could refer to for you!

I need to know about the rear end. So, Probably rebuild instructions.

When I turn the input shaft it rotates two turns before it begins to rotate the
axles going out to each tire. If this is normal, I don't need anything. If this
is incorrect I gotta find out how to fix it.

I really would like to purchase a manual and not pester anyone each time I need information!
So, I am still searching for a manual.
In the mean time tho, I sure would appreciate whatever you got.


Thx Scotty

I recently acquired a 1979 (three wheel). Is anyone still on this thread? I need manual if at all possible. I’ve found some portions here and there but not the whole book. The manual # is 16466G1from what I can tell. Thanks in advance.

You vintage cart guys like to spend money on old , out dated , hard to find parts carts. Wake up and put your money into something current.
