94.5 ezgo series slow

nappy55 · 01-16-2009, 02:40 PM

I've upgraded the motor 8hp, 1600rpm,500 amp GE controller, HD solinoid,4ga. cables, 5'' lift wt 22's, but i still don't seem to have alot of torque. The batts. are about 3yrs. old. Also i can pull the orange wire off the reverse micro-switch and it doesn't make any diff. in the way it runs,anybody got any ideals.

Upgraded controller/motor combos require excellent batteries and 4g cables. Perhaps you should load test your batteries.

does being able to unhook the orange wire and it run the same matter?

gornoman · 01-16-2009, 03:16 PM

The orange wire allows 1/2 speed reverse. If it runs the same with it on or off, something isn't wired right.

thanks,i'll check the batts. Also going to convert to 48 volts after reading all these posts about it.

Here's a wiring diagram for your cart if you need it to check things out. http://www.studmonkeyracing.com/forums/alltraxezgo.pdf

thanks for the diagram, i'll check it out.

Maybe the whole cart is wired half speed

....we need some hard info here. Can you post battery readings and gps speed?

Also 1650 rpm? You sure you got that right? If so, you should have tons of torque .....

Oh no, you don't get off that easy. You gotta share what was wrong. That's what forums are for! Come on, what was it????
