SOURCE: EZGO golf cart won't go forward

Your batteries have died. The reason it will barely move in reverse is that current is being supplied to the motor is a direction that it spends very little time using. There is a slight change in the armature over time, and reverse tends to work better over time. Check the voltage when under load. (run jumper wires from the + and - of the battery bank. If it is a 36 volt cart and the voltage drops to below 36 volts, you do not have enoug current to run the cart. Plug in the charger and watch the ampmeter. If it goes up to about 20 amps, then it is charging. It should take a good charge after 10 hours. If the cart charges and only runs a short distance, the batteries need replacing.

Whatwould cause a gas powered EZ GO golf cart yo all of a sudden blow whie smoke? Also, what is the proper oil to use?

If white smoke is thin like a vapor it might not be anything to be too concerned about .. ...It could be the result of a blown head gasket or a damaged cylinder head - However, they will be costly repairs. If it is a four stroke engine it will take either 10w-30 (mostly) or 10w-40. Here is a web address for a manual.

Do i need to mix the gas in my 1988 ezgo

Most people do not trust the old oil pump used on the 3PG models, me included. Mix 50:1 and you can be sure that the piston and crank will not seize up.
