You are the best. I bought the same golf cart from the melex brand and thanks to your video I was able to test the motor without having to buy the batteries, thank you very much
@@BlekSheep_1 I don't know how far along you are, but just an fyi. I have a 36 volt and used 3-12volt deep cycle marine batteries for about half the price of the 6 volt batteries. I've been using it since last summer with no problems. Good luck with yours.
Exactly what I needed! Trying to troubleshoot a 36v par car with good batteries. Hoping the motor works too and I can start looking elsewherewhere. Thank you!
Yes please do the restoration video. Your video of testing the motor was the best and easiest method of testing versus everything else that I have found here on CZcams.
I've got an 86 ezgo 36v that I've been running for a couple of years with 3 pairs of 12v car batteries.... That's 3 parallel sets in series. It works great. I use whatever free or cheap batteries I can scrounge up. The RANGE is about 6 to ten miles vs about 20-25 but around the house or to the nearby stores it's plenty.
All I need to complete my restoration of my 1985 Melex is the proper wiring diagram or even a photo of where the wires go! Got ahead of myself when removing the wires and not writing the diagram down! Rookie Mistake, can you please help?
Could you have just hooked it up to the main battery leads and checked if everything works. Like the controller and gas pedal controls or do they need 36v?
Yes they need 36 volts. Make sure and hook up only the motor to the 12 volt battery and that all wires going to motor from the cart have been disconnected first.
I bought a 1985 EZGO for $60. The electric motor lugs are in a straight line not on four corners like your motor. I can’t find anything on the net or the motor to tell me which lug is which. Any ideas? Good video btw
I have never had or seen one with lugs in a straight line but I did go online and just put in 1985 Ezgo electric golf cart wiring . I then went to images and it had a few diagram with the inline lugs. It showed S1 being closest to the motor and then A2, S2 and A1. I would verify this is what you have before doing any wiring. Sorry I couldn't be more help and good luck..
Hello, I believe your motor is a shunt wound so these connections will not work. if you look up testing golf cart shunt wound on CZcams it will pull up some good videos.
First thing I would do is double check to see if everything is connect correctly and make sure the 12 volt battery is fully charge. If it still didn't work I was going to take it to someone who repairs 36 volt motors
@@projectswithbc6998 I have herd that if they are a direct bolt to axle the axle is the bearing for the motor so you would need to have the whole rear end to bench test

Yes, I would like to see the complete restoration. Great video.
Thank you for this very well done explanation. I've just started down the black hole of repairing an '98 EZ GO.
I'm glad it helped. I hope your build goes well.
Good luck with yours. I'm working on a 1986.5 EZ Go

Very good and simple video. Thank you.
Thank you BC, I need to test an EZ Go motor and this is just what I was looking for 👍
Thank you ,im glad you mentioned to disconnect the wires otherwise wouldn't work.
Ty for the paper work helped out alot

that was helpful, thank you!
Love this with some panels.
I have a 72v golf cart. I will try this method. Thanks.
I have no idea if that will work with a 72 volt cart
Would like to see the rest of the rebuild.

@@projectswithbc6998 Do I still need the jumper wire if I check it this way? Thanks
Can the gears be changed in the rear end to make a cart faster??? Do you know what the ratio is in a club car or are all the same??
Thanks
Yes you can change the gears to make it faster. No I do not know what ratio the CC
How would you test reverse?

@@projectswithbc6998 No worries, I have viewed the same drawing. was hoping you had messed with one personally. Thanks for the reply

Same connections if motor used F1 and F2 instead of S1 and S2?
Hello, I believe your motor is a shunt wound so these connections will not work. if you look up testing golf cart shunt wound on CZcams it will pull up some good videos.
What are you using as the jumper box? I need to do this with a 36v 1999 ezgo txt. Thanks!
I used a Harbor Freight portable jump box with a on and off switch.
@@projectswithbc6998 any chance you can send me a link to the one you got?
Scratch that I found it :)
I am pretty sure it does not matter which the plus or negative is attached to the motor will run the same direction.
verry good
Thanks
What would you have done if the wheels didn't turn.
First thing I would do is double check to see if everything is connect correctly and make sure the 12 volt battery is fully charge. If it still didn't work I was going to take it to someone who repairs 36 volt motors
I tried this but my golf cart only went in reverse.its a yamaha not sure how old.
Ty
Dose the work on a 48 volt also ?
Yes, as long as it is a 48 volt series motor
Can the rear end gears be changed for a faster speed in a club car??
Yes
Can I bench test ezgo txt motor
I have been told you CAN NOT bench test golf cart motors.
@@projectswithbc6998 I have herd that if they are a direct bolt to axle the axle is the bearing for the motor so you would need to have the whole rear end to bench test
7 p.m. like to see more videos
Can you show me the wiring diagrams?
I don't have one. I just go to google and type in: Melex 512E wiring diagram.
