scottyb- This cart has a lever for F&R

OLD MEC- I actually jacked her up yesterday to mess with it. Thanks for the safety tips. I took off the MCOR and worked it by hand with no change. I replaced it this morning with a new one just to rule it out. I think it may have fixed it, but the cart needs a charge before I can know for sure. I did install new cables with the batteries, but only replaced the connector on the positive side. The connections seem good, but It sounds like I should get new main cables for the sake of good upkeep. I did check the solenoid for voltage yesterday, and seem to remember good voltage on both terminals whether the pedal was depressed or not which sounds wrong!? I am going to re-check that after it charges.

The cart never quits or dies completely. The best way to describe it is when the pedal is pushed and held steady or full, it varies as if you very moving the throttle up and down randomly, but never shuts off, and never gets you very far before a small hill stifles it.
