OK so I recently picked up a 1991 EzGo Cart and had a few general questions;
1. 1991 EzGo carts were Marathons Right? (Only model available so that's what I have been calling it)
2. I am also assuming that the cart is a resistor cart. So it uses a resistor wiper setup to change speed (Similar to a slot car controller?)
3. Charging - I do not have immediate access to my charger, but it has a 12 hour timer - I do not believe it has an auto circuit, so what routine should I follow when charging? (How long, how often)
4. I will be upgrading wiring and bus bars, but if I intend to do a small lift and wheels (Not increasing size of wheels over stock) do I need to do any other mods because of lift (Yes I realize if I want more performance I do.. LOL - I guess I am really asking does a lift alone cause decreased performance? I know larger tires will change the performance)
5. Reference item 2 above - As this is an older cart, is their any recommended maintenance (Cleaning) recommended for the resistor wiper? (if of course that is the way it is set up)
6. Motor maintenance - I have not taken a look at one of these motors, but I am assuming they are serviceable - IE replace bearings, brushes ect. Is their a recommended set of maintenance that should be preformed on them? Grease / Clean / Brush replacement?
Thanks for the forum, looks like it is nicely setup, and I recognize the majority of the posters over here. If you need any help with IPB let me know.
