hot motor

[plowboy8982]

I got an old ezgo elec. cart like a 89 or so. I was riding it the other day and the terminal sticking out of the motor nearest the very back of cart melted out of motor. All batteries are brand new and i am 90 persent sure it is wired right what would cause this and how can i fix it thanks for any help in advance I got to get this thing fixed it is time to start cutting would and this is what i use to haul my chain saws aaround.

Probably had a loose cable, it overheated and had a meltdown.
Unless you're good with motors, it needs to go to a motor shop to be repaired.
Most shops that do alternator/starter rewinding in your area should be able to do this.
