68' Club Car variable speed issue

Restored Club Car, however, seems like there is no slow speed? Any help appreciated. Mike

The resistor coils are your speed control. You must have a problem with the switching of the coils. Slow speed is when the coils are dropping much of the battery voltage.

Wow, what a cool cart and welcome to the forum!
When was this thing restored? It should have been upgraded to a solid state system!
I would say that your low speed solenoids are stuck closed.

Restored in the last year or so, and the electronics are original as far as I can tell.
I'm sure many parts have been repaired/restored, but I don't see much in the way of updates?

The resistor coils seem to be in good shape, perhaps I should clean all contact points?

Everything looks so shiny, it almost looks as if they put in new resistor coils, but I guess they could be original...
To update, you would rip out the toaster oven speed control and install a controller (much more efficient).
Does the cart have a v-glide, and how many solenoids?

Hmmm, they could be new OEM's. Not sure what a v-glide is? The cart has 4 solenoids and I have four new ones being shipped.

Thanks for the help, I will certainly be checking back in often.

A v-glide is a black pie shaped box that controls the speed. I would guess that a couple solenoids are stuck closed, or dirty contacts on the v-glide (if it has one).

Thanks Jake, I don't see any pie shaped control box but I did take a picture of what I think is a similar unit? Anyway, I will put new solenoids on this week and currently have the forward-reverse switch out as it is sticking a bit.

Thanks, Mike
