My Cushman ran great and could use either gas or propane. Miss it a bit now, but it just didn’t have the horses. The G0-4, when I first got it, was really fast. Decided to have it tuned up and took it to the only place in town that was a dealer for GO-4s – a golf car establishment. Can’t prove it, but the mechanic working on it now found that the wiring system was all burned up and it had to be the “experts” at the golf car place. They had told me that the GO-4 just quit and they could not make it run when I got it back from them. Wonderful folks . . . . <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Long story short, the ECU is very corroded (and probably burned out too) and will be a problem in the future if it is not now (as the new mechanic puts in all new wiring and the new ECU if I find one). A couple of leads are coming back positive; one in the UK that I am following up on. May go the used route that Jerry suggests if nothing else pans out.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> silly_little_cars-bounces@lists.sillylittlecars.com [mailto:silly_little_cars-bounces@lists.sillylittlecars.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Rahsaan<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, January 28, 2012 11:53 PM<br><b>To:</b> Silly Little Email List<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Silly Little Cars] ECUs - ECMs - PCMs<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td valign=top style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal>you all need to go back to the Cushman.
