Problem Solved! We got my wife’s golf cart back Monday afternoon! It was the Throttle Cable Assembly! I guess the bang she heard was the old cable snapping! Her only concern was getting off the paved golf cart path onto the grass to prevent an accident near a blind curve near the 9th green at Kenya golf course. She couldn’t push the cart herself and was afraid of an accident. Thanks for your responses.

On Friday morning at roughly 11:30 a.m. as I was driving in the golf cart path along Morse Boulevard almost at the O’Dell Circle roundabout near Havana Country Club my golf cart just suddenly stopped running and would not move. I called my husband to see if he could meet me. Unfortunately he was on his way back from Eustis and wouldn’t be here for about 25 minutes. I sat in my golf cart for about 20 minutes watching golf cart after golf cart either go around or come towards me without ever inquiring if I needed help. Finally after about 20 minutes a gentleman came alongside of me and asked if I needed help. I i asked if he could help me push my golf cart off the path into the grassy section on the left so I would be out of the way. He moved my cart and asked if I was ok. I thanked him over and over for stopping. As he got in his golf cart to leave he said, see, New Yorkers aren’t all bad. I sadly did not get his name, but, sir, I will say thank you again for stopping to help me!! This post is not to complain but to say, please, drivers, if you see a cart stopped along a path, just make an inquiry to see if that person needs help. I have done that many times if I see someone stopped. Thank you

It’s very easy to push your cart by yourself. You just have to put the gear in neutral.

When we first came to the villages in 2004, the people were more friendly. That is how the villages got the name being "The Friendliest Village." It seems most Millennials have a careless attitude!!!!

Millennials are aged 27-42...

I doubt many of them are residents of TV...

Using predictive analysis? Forecasting? My daughter loves her (tail-less) cat, I wonder if she will make a friendly Villager.

Was it the throttle cable or throttle pedal spring ? There was a vintage of Yamaha carts around 2012 which had defective springs. I had one and your failure mode it exactly what I experience - bang and all. I fixed it myself. To my surprise I went to the Villages Cart store and asked for the spring. They came out with a beefier one - said it was an upgrade. Asked them how much. Answer was free it is a Yamaha recall.
