If its not the solenoid?.....
I was loading my 77? Sport Coupe on a trailer this morning. Drove it part way up and it quit like a circuit breaker or something disconnected. I found no loose wires or connections (cleaned them while I was there), but the solinoid now "rattles" when you depress the accelerator (rattles faster the further you push). Finding nothing loose, I replaced the solinoid and it still rattles. Battery voltage is 36.1 and with the charger plugged in its 43 so I dont think its battery. (it also rattles with the charger on which to me eliminates voltage).
The grade on the ramps was about 8-10% for a load. what did I break? anyone with ideas? thanks Bill |

This is only a guess, but it could possibly be a resistor coil.

I don't know where they are located on those carts, but if it looks like a series of metal coils, then chances are they are your resistor coils.

Roady89 should log on later. When he answers this, you will have THE answer. :thumbup: 8)

Re-check all your connections, and look for a broken coil. I have a 77 melex which is an ezgo clone. The soenoid rattles like that one time and it ended up being a wrong connection. Could you possiblly have gotten a cable mis-placed after it quit?

thanks all Bill |
Re: If its not the solinoid?.....
Did you check the connections at the coils? Its either a bad/wrong connection or a broken coil. It wont be a motor issue.
What sounds like happened is the connection was already bad and getting hot or the coil was partially broken and when you loaded it the amps went up and took out the bad connection. |

thanks so much Bill |
Re: If its not the solinoid?.....
cleaned the connections on the coils plus checked them for continuity/breaks and found no problems ... other than it still does not run. Started re-cleaning all other connections just to make sure I didn't miss anything (done with a wire brush once already - but what the heck).
Direction OB1...your my only hope!! Bill |
