Never played with one of those, but does it have fuseable links ?
Those things have a nasty habit of making no-go and are the last thing anybody thinks to look for.

Actually, I meant to say "reed switch".

Ray, conversion from 36V to 42 volt was pretty popular mod for awhile until people realized it didn't cost any more to go on up to 48v instead.
They just added one 6V battery and charged it separately. A cheap upgrade with about a 10% power increase. |

Mine is not modded. Seven six volt batteries. 42 volt charger.
7 X 6 (volts) = 42 volts.

I could be wrong, but I don't think I've ever seen an EZ-GO with 7 batteries... they usually did just add another 6v, and some people would even replace two 6Vs with two 12v car batteries (not even deep cycle) to get to 48. Not that it matters, but when ordering parts and troubleshooting, this could be something you need to consider.

The Kubota dealership I worked for was also an Ez-Go and Club Car distributor. EZ-Go never made an (OEM) 42V cart. They came 36V early then upped it to 48V in 2008.
Other brands tho, did use an Ez-Go chassis and made their own brands that did come with 42V but not EzGo. (actually, Western would make them any power rating you wanted perhaps even up to 72V. They were a custom manufacturer, much like CC did Fiero Meras.[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 08-05-2022).]

just wonder if the new black box it may not like the 42 v
the older coil resisters did not care
I have a yamaha 2 stroke cart that had a reed valve
but we swaped for snowmoble cylinder carb piston ect and transfer ports for twice the power
need to find an unrusted dt-1 ext pipe to cut to fit for real POWER AS THE two's need pipes

I need the electric supply route. I assume battery power starts at the battery, goes to the key ignition switch, then to the forward / reverse switch, then to the gas pedal.
Which then powers the forward / reverse mechanism which then tells the electric motor which way to spin to go forward or backward. |

Not sure if this is the right one

Jake, thanks a bunch  . All else also. Jake, that electrical schematic, I hate trying to figure them out but it is necessary, helped a bunch.
I now believe the batteries first power the solenoid, which then powers the ignition switch. Then it goes to the controller and / or forward / reverse selector. Then you should hear the solenoid click (activate).
I still am mystified on how the ?traction motor? knows which way to operate, forward or reverse.
That looks like a promising forum to be on. How ever, I can not join, register. I use G-Mail which they do not allow due to bats and spammers. I am unable to reply, start a topic, use the "search" function.
I used to have land base e-mail addresses, but no more. Can someone here register for me ? I will give you my ... preferred pro noun, umm, user name, and my preferred password.

I feel special. Mine is a Western. Just like my 88 Fiero GT, T Top, parts are hard to find. T Top seals come to mind. I can get a 48 volt solenoid, a 36 volt solenoid, I can not find a 42 volt solenoid.
How would a solenoid know haw many volts it needs to activate ? Will a 36V or a 42V work ?
