Default Re: 1987 EZ-GO cranks but doesn't run [please help, about to give up]

So after I re-built the engine on my in-laws 1987 smoker I couldn't get it to start either...I was just about to take it back out due to max frustration until I noticed that when I pushed on the pedal I was barely getting any throttle movement...I move the throttle with my finger and varoom..let the pedal go and tried again no start....looked at where the cable hooks to the pedal and when I pushed the pedal and the cable was being pushed up it would fold and push outward instead of upward, took the cable out of the housing, peeled back and cut off the offending strands of wire, slid it back together and now it starts and runs just fine....

just my .02
