1987 Marathon
Hi, New here. Picked up a complete EzGo for a good price. Now problem is all the wiring was removed, did come with a comple new wire kit 4#. I've been looking at all the wiring diagrams. The trouble is most diagrams show the four wires coming off the resistors going to the four posts on the throttle/wiper board. My throttle board has five posts, I found one diagram showing a fifth wire but unclear of where it goes. Also conflicting diagrams show one lead of motor going to battery while another showa it going to the resistor #4 position. I am new to golf carts but have been dabbling in electric scooters for awhile. Any help would be appreciated, or if anyone could possible post a picture of how theirs is wired up. I planned on posting some pics of the whole process when I was finished but alas I'm stuck.
Thanks Keith |

Re: 1987 Marathon
Thanks for the reply. But unfortunely it's one of the many conflicting diagrams I've found.

Re: 1987 Marathon
Visit a cart shop and look at their inventory. We have a local cart repair shop with hundreds of carts, many different ages and models. You may find just what you are looking for.

Re: 1987 Marathon
That's next on my list. But again the local shops around here are kinda upscale you could say. I'll get it sorted eventually. Thanks

Re: 1987 Marathon
Thanks for the replys. I've pretty much got it figured out. Forward/reverse works, all micro switches work, neutral works, but. The first push of the pedal literally causes a wheelie, if I can not freak out and keep a steady foot on the throttle, above that initial push seems fine. Same goes for letting the throttle release, just before it hits full stop it jerks violently. I'm assuming bad resistors so I ordered a set, that I will hold on to if not the problem. Or possibly a slight wiring issue. Any ideas?

Re: 1987 Marathon
I rewired an 86 marathon and had the same problem with hole shots on initial take off. Seems I ws by passing the coils and getting full power to the motor at the slightest press of the pedal. My oops! maybe you have the same problem. If new resistors don't fix it check the wiring from the fw/rv to the coils/motor.
