1991 ezgo gas Marathon

buckcommander2013 · 08-30-2013, 07:23 PM

I have a 1991 Marathon Gas Cart, I was riding this weekend and press the gas to go and nothing. It will run(alittle weak) but nothing. Changed the fuel, clean the spark plug, check the battery and still nothing. Put it up on jack stands and put in rev/forward and the tires don't move at all. Please help. Thanks

Does it rev up and just not move?

Yes it will rev up but it won't move at all.

Is the secondary clutch spinning? If so, is the rear-end input shaft spinning? If so, remove the center caps from the rear hubs and see if either of the rear axles is spinning without the hub spinning(you'll see the axle nut). The rear hubs are known to strip out the splines.

Ok, put the cart on stands again and the back tires will move a little but not much. So is this pointing to the clutch. secondary is spinning and looks good. Thanks for the help so far

Could be driven clutch splines are stripped or rear end gear.
I guess I would pull of the driven clutch and do a check from there.
