-Batteries are alittle over a year old and old are showing 6.5 volts (checked individually)
-All cables were changed with batteries and were cleaned along with battery posts
-Changed 2 cables that were questionable going to motor and solinoid.

Now I need some direction into troubleshooting the speed controller and resistor coil or ....can there be another problem. I hope its not much because not what to dump a bunch of money into old cart. Thanks for any direction in advance.

Welcome duprec, G1's are old carts, but bullet proof. Someone will be along soon enough to answer your question. Good Luck. Enjoy the forum.
