1988 gas EZ GO marathon 2pg
Hey all!
Got a question for you. My cart has been running great since doing a bunch of work. One of the things was replacing the starter generator. Well, the other day my belt came off the S/G while I was driving and I could feel the difference for the last 100 yards or so while going home as it was just putting. Today I put the belt back on and noticed it looks a little big for the new S/G pulley. Still fits decent and is enough to turn the clutch over, but now that I’ve put the belt in it just seems to spin the belt and clutch and won’t actually turn over the engine? Any thoughts to where I should start? Everything turns over by hand just fine so nothing is seized up. I’m thinking either my clutch went out, or the bigger belt on the clutch is too lose? Kind of lost..please help! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

When you installed the starter belt, did you use a pry bar to put a little tension on the belt while tightening the bolts?

No I sure didn’t..I leaned the S/G a little towards the belt and then tightened it up. Should I try again with bolting S/G on first and then prying the belt onto it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The S/G belt is still tight as hell, though. I can’t even budge it with my fingers now that it’s on. I just don’t get why it’s not spinning the the plastic (driven clutch?) and wheel? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Can you grab the clutch and turn the engine by hand?

Is your battery fully charged? Those 2strokes can take a lot to turn them over...

Actually...is that belt upside down? That’s how it was when I bought the cart, but why aren’t the rigged edges facing down for grip?

That belt is upside down.
Are you saying the engine is running, or not running? |
