Old School EZGO Marathon Club!

tom46151 · 10-25-2009, 01:43 PM

hey all, I'm back. My garage burned in January, just as I was beginning restoration and BGW foruming. I have my new garage built (bigger and better) and got my cart (87 gasser) out today and tooled up and down the road on it. Looks cool with no fenders, cowl or bagwell with a 5" lift. I'm looking for used parts. I need a windshield hoop, rear engine cover, bagwell, fender caps and arm rests. Any one parting one out or know of an EZGO junkyard in the midwest (Indiana, KY, MI, OH, IL)?

Bailey, I had the same problem with mine. One day I went riding, stopped and hit the pedal again and no start. I figured it was a bad connection with the battery terminals. But it was a broken ground wire on the solenoid.

Hello all. I joined this club because I have just recently purchased a 84 electric marathon. I purchased the cart to use for hunting. The terain is mostly flat with moderate hills. So far, the cart is doing good. The slow pace up the hills does not bother me. But, the charge on the batteries seems to be lasting for only about a mile. They are 2005 trojans that I have no idea on how well they were taken care of. Is this travel distance typical or could I gain more distance with new batteries? As far as I know everytining is the orgianal with the exception of a new silonoid and new battery cables(6 guage). The cart does have a small lift kit and larger turf tires. Thanks for the help.

Ok count me in I have a 91 marathon that the motor is froze up on and some frame work needs to be done but body in pretty good shape but for $150 what do you expect. I have pictures that I will post later. Keeping a complete diary of pictures from start to finish. I would like to know where to get body parts like dash kits and billit or chrome stuff for the marathon. Been looking for the dash kit but can't find anybody that sells it for the marathon
