I recently purchased a 1992 EZGO Marathon 36v cart. I am having an issue with losing power. As I am driving at times, usually when I let off the throttle, like when going down a hill, it will not start going Again. It also has stopped when I have stopped at a cross street. If I wait a couple minutes sometimes it will take off again.
Two batteries are dated 7/22 and the third is 6/22. When I fully charge the cart, the two newer batteries check at 13.53 and 13.61 v and the “older” battery checks at 12.44 v. The cart has a new solenoid and fully charged, also checks at 39.3 v at the POT, in both forward and reverse.
Yesterday I took off with a fully charged cart and drove probably 1 1/2 miles circling the block. It stopped and I had to pull over and luckily it did take off again after a minute or so. ( tried turning the switch on and off and shifting from F to R in that time). Not really sure what might be going on but not confident driving it if I have the possibility of getting stranded.
