I have a 1988 Club Car gas golf cart and have had and used it for 4-years and it runs good. Last fall the throttle linkage cable broke and I replaced it. 5 hours of use later, it broke again...replaced it...2 hours of use and it broke again. It seems that the end of the cable with the hood connector that goes over the ball in the electrical box is to tight and doesn't allow for easy rotation at that joint and soon strains and breaks the cable because of the angle of pull.
Does that end of the throttle cable with the connection in the electrical box need to be a loose fitting to allow for free movement when the accelerator is depressed?
