Thanks for the vids! I'm glad I found your channel. You have been instrumental in helping me with my ancient Yamaha G3.
For what its worth Kevin, you gave me alot of the inspiration to go forward with my business doing the same thing as you. I'm located out inOregon, bussiness is booming but I still enjoy watching your videos. There is always space to learn more I always said. Learned a few things I didnt know from your earlier videos. Keep up the good work!
Hi Kevin! Do you have a video on front end alignment on a 2004 EZGO TXT?
Thanks
Cover up spindle with a towel and try not to directly spray brake cleaner in this area as you have grease and seals that you don’t want to get sprayed.
Everything else will be fine .
Brake cleaner won't hurt the spindle or seals. Carb cleaner would cause issues with some seals and orings. There isn't supposed to be grease or oil anywhere inside the brake drum area. There's oil in the rear transaxle, not grease. The oil seals on this cart are on the transaxle and need the axles and axle tubes removed to access them.
Hey brother will this be the same set up for a 2004 ezgo 6 seater ?
Question for you. It specifically says in the service manual I have for our cushman (ezgo parts) not to manually adjust the star wheel as it is automatic and doing so can make it malfunction. Thoughts?
You have to make manual adjustments at some point. These are simple brake systems but do require attention from time to time. They do self adjust when they are working properly while the cart is moving. They are designed to adjust in small amounts to compensate for brake shoe wear. If they are installed and not adjusted initially, they will never adjust themselves to the correct start position.
Wow, Kevin, love your videos on the fix/ repair of the EZ Go golf carts! We have 2002 model. Wish you were closer to us, I would definitely want you to do a full maintenance on it. Our two front tires are flat , and I know my hubby won’t be able to fix them, so I’m going to have to call our local golf cart shop to fix them. We bought it in 2007. Should we have all new tires put on , or just the two that are flat?
Your local tire/golf cart shop should be able to determine if the tires are repairable or need to be replaced.
Just picked up a 1996 TXT Gas for around 400€ ($450 aproximately) and I was wondering if there’s something I should be looking out for, it does run but I would just like to know if there’s some kind of “normal” issue with these carts. Greetings from Barcelona, Spain! Thanks!
As long as its running, it should be good.
Thanks for the answer! It’s been fine so far, although it burns a considerable amount of oil unfortunately, piston rings I guess, but I can’t be bothered to replace them hahaha. Brake pads do need to be replaced, they are non existent by now.
Kevin as always very interesting. I wish you were not so far away (I live east of Cleveland Ohio) I have two Club Cars and I am rebuilding one as I type and the other sure needs a ring job. (smokes alot) Keep up the good wrk and vlogs!. They are sure helpful. Ken
Thank you for your kind words!
Hey sorry for the random question but have you ever encountered a starter/generator on an older gas powered cart that requires an external jumper between two of the posts, besides the regular electrical connections inside the cart? I’m not that familiar with them but that’s what the electrical motor shop that tested it for me said they had to do.
That is normal for 2 posts to be jumped together. Starter/generators are series wound motors and need this jumper wire in order to operate. Some starter/generators are bi-directional, meaning they can rotate in either direction. This jumper determines its rotation. Now if the cart has a bi-rotation starter/generator, like in a 2 cycle cart, then no. You would have to remove this jumper and reinstall it normally. If its not working in the cart, there is a different problem.
Kevin's Golf Carts thanks for getting back to me so quickly! It’s in a gas powered 1990 EZGO Marathon, and I believe it is supposed to be a bi-rotation S/G. So I have a problem if that’s the case and I can’t get it to run in the cart without a jumper installed, correct?
1990s were 2 and 4 stroke engines. If its a 2-stroke, then it can run both directions and the forward/reverse switch controls the rotation. If its a 4-stroke, then it needs the jumper to operate.
Are you worried about the cleaner killing the grease in the bearings?
No. The bearings are sealed. If brake cleaner gets in, then there's a good chance dirt is getting in and the bearings should be replaced.
😏Wow, Kevin knows everything!
What are you Torqueing them wheels to KEV ?
Tight. They don't need to be gorilla tight, just tight enough so its even and doesn't warp the drum.
For unspecified torque, there are charts available on the internet. Kevin has been doing this so long, he instinctively feels the correct torque.
Working with brake cleaner and no gloves 😮
Where’s your light Kevin?
Why do you video stuff in the dark?
It's only dark on camera. Sometimes I forget to get the lighting correct. Time is money.
🤔
Sorry, but I’m gonna call BS on the cotter pin, you certainly can reuse a “good” cotter pin and it doesn’t take a genius to tell the difference
Call it whatever you want.
Not BS. Cotter pins that have been installed are now "damaged." They cost nearly nothing to install new. Even if uninstalled right after install, go ahead and replace it.
Need better lighting my man
I had my camera settings wrong but didn't pick up on it until after the video was shot.
